Abstract :
A novel approach to determining unique fingerprint features with high repeatability is described. The techniques described are particularly suitable for CE applications and devices employing inexpensive capacitative fingerprint sensors. The extraction of robust seeds for generating repeatable encryption keys is discussed and some preliminary approaches are described.
