To study of various security attacks against Biometric template in a generic Biometric Recognition System

Abstract

Biometric recognitions system is a system which provides the reliable solution for user authentication in identity management systems. The motivation is that how we can use the effective biometric system in e-Governance service delivery with secure channel. So first we discuss the various security attacks that can be encounter during the enrollment and verification of bio-metric traits. We analyze various vulnerabilities of biometric system and study the various counter measures that can be present in biometric system in any way. There are many successful developments in the field of e-Authentication but the security is remain challenge in real world. This paper focus on the risks of biometric data at the time of enrollment and verification process. There are many types of attacks like finger print in biometric system by using fake fingers at the sensor could be a serious threat for unattended applications. In biometric system fingerprint matching is very big challenge to match the saved image with real time template with reduce the false match rate and false reject rate. We focus here to analyze the behavior of fingerprint verification because fingerprint verification is the very reliable personal e-Authentication mechanism.
