Abstract :
Whether it is providing fingerprints at airport immigration desks, tagging friends on social networking sites, or logging into a smartphone, biometrics provide a fast, convenient, and unobtrusive means for access control or identity verification. Biometric template protection is an umbrella term for a class of techniques used to mitigate the security and privacy threats inherent in biometric recognition. During the past decade and a half, template protection has gained traction in academia and industry, becoming the subject of publications, patents and conferences. This article reviews the progress of standardization of biometric template protection schemes.
