Dynamic signature verification with template protection using helper data
Manuel R. Freire, Julián Fiérrez, Javier Ortega-García · IEEE International Conference on Acoustics Speech and Signal Processing · 2008
A biometric template protection system for dynamic signature verification is presented. The approach uses auxiliary (helper) data that allows the matching with secure templates but do not provide information to a potential attacker. The performance of the proposed system is evaluated using the MCYT signature database comprising 330 users, with 25 genuine signatures and 25 skilled forgeries per user. The results show similar performance compared to the baseline unprotected system. However, the security of the proposed system against attacks to the template database is significantly higher.
