An Analysis of Biometric Based Security Systems

Abstract

Human recognition using their biological, behavioral, physiological, and chemical traits is a contemporary as well as a secured approach. A series of biometric-based systems have been deployed in various computing applications. The biometric-based systems are exposed to a variety of failures. In this paper, security analysis of various fingerprint biometric systems are presented and a fingerprint-based biometric system is briefly explained. It has been observed that the security of the biometrical information and overall performance of the system has a trade-off. It has also been noticed that a secured biometric system with lower equal error rates (EER) and higher identification accuracy is still a challenging task for researchers.
