Abstract:We propose a novel vein extraction technique adapted to template protection and use it to apply a fuzzycommitment scheme. We construct dedicated error correcting codes that enable us to maintain a good accuracyafter template protection. In a second application, we offer to overcome the alignment issues when comparingtwo vein templates by performing this step outside of the protection scheme. Different implementations areproposed to explore trade-offs between False Rejection Rate, False Acceptance Rate, comparison time andsecurity. All approaches are tested on the recent database of University of Twente from ICB 2013. Ourbiometric performances are close to state of the art approaches whilst bringing security with the templateprotection scheme.
