A novel polarization-encoded fingerprint verification system for high-security applications is presented. During the enrolment part the fingerprint pattern is encoded with certain parameters of polarization ellipse. We show through experimental and simulation results that polarization encoding of fingerprint images can play significant role in fingerprint verification especially in application where high security is of a great concern.
