As increasing demand for security of stored biometric data, cancelable biometric has attracted considerable attention. Cancelable biometric has advantages over other template protection methods because of diversity, revocability and non-invertibility. This paper introduces a cancelable iris biometric in which biometric features are combined with a tokenized (pseudo-) random number (TRN). The performance of the proposed cancelable iris biometric is evaluated comparing with that of the base BioHashing method at best, stolen-key and stolen-biometric scenarios. The experimentation of the proposed algorithm is carried out over the CASIA V1.0 and CASIA V3-Interval iris databases. The experimental results show that the proposed cancelable iris biometric outperforms base BioHashing method in terms of EER and FRR.
