Watermarked Face Recognition Scheme to Enhance Security

The aim of this paper is to contribute to the solutions of face recognition security problem by deploying an appropriate watermarking scheme to a modified face recognition algorithm. The significance of the proposed work is therefore manifold. The suitability of the face recognition for authentication purposes has already been studied in the security community but the constant emergence of new techniques for face recognition calls for re-evaluation and reconsideration of some of those findings. Finally, this work might open up new avenues for further research in combining the biometric and watermarking techniques as other physiological or behavioral characteristic might be considered.
