Rajeev Kumar Gupta, Ashok J. Kumar · 2015
Iris Template protection is a crucial requirement when designing a biometric based authentication system. It refers to techniques used to make the stored iris template inaccessible to unauthorized users. From an iris template, information about the user can be revealed and identity theft can occur. Iris Template protection can be performed by using template distortion techniques, biometric cryptosystems, watermarking and data hiding techniques.
