Authentication based on secret-key generation

We present models for authentication in biometric settings. We could determine the trade-off between false-acceptance exponents and the so-called privacy-leakage rate. In this way we extend the Ahlswede-Csiszar secret-key generation result [1993] and more specifically the secret-key rate vs. privacy-leakage rate trade-off, studied by Ignatenko and Willems [2009].
