In ascertaining the authenticity of a person's identity, the techniques that utilises Biometric Technology and its vital aspects and attributes are essential in endorsing this endeavour. Transversing the years, identification through biometric means has heightened much attention with regards to its susceptibility to assaults whilst information are being transferred. Thus, there is a dire need for the development for a safeguarding means. Steganography and watermarking methods are adopted towards the enhancement of biometric information secureness. Watermarking entails the embedding of data within file that carries the data, in safeguarding intellectual property rights and copyrights that involves music, video or image files. Meanwhile, steganography entails the concealment of data. This research puts forward an all-encompassing review pertaining the latest steganography methods that has been implemented to protect the biometric fingerprints information up-to-date. This review categorizes the fingerprint system into various sections, inclusive of methods for extracting features and matching procedure.
