BioHash code generation from electrocardiogram features

Abstract

Biometric Authentication System used for verifying identity of a person is getting highly popularized. In today's world when online communication and transactions are a widespread reality, verification of user's identity has become all the more challenging. Biometric Authentication provides a secured and robust system for verification purpose. This paper proposes a cancelable biometric approach called BioHashing. The method uses ECG features and Tokenized Random Number to generate an inner product. The obtained products which are above a previously defined threshold are coded as 1, and the rest 0, thus generating the BioHash Code.
