Abstract

In this paper, we propose an invertible biometric image watermarking algorithm which can detect block-wise malicious manipulations. The proposed method embeds two types of watermark. The first type can completely remove distortion due to authentication if the data is deemed authentic. The second type can detect block-wise malicious manipulation by applying the parity bits concept to biometric image blocks.
