This paper is based on embedding the biometrics techniques on GPU for better computational efficiency and fast matching process using the parallel nature of the GPU processors to compare thousands of images for fingerprint recognition in a fraction of a second. In this paper we worked on GPU (INVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 with compute capability 1.3 and dual core-2-dou processor) for fingerprint matching and found that the efficiency is better than the results with related work already done on CMOS, CPU, ARM9, MATLAB Neural Networks etc which shows the better performance of our system in terms of computational time. The features matching process proposed for fingerprint recognition and the verification procedure is done on 5,000 images which are available online in the databases FVC2000, 2002, 2004 [1].

For a reliable fingerprinting system, improving fingerprint matching accuracy is crucial. In this paper, we try to improve a binary image fingerprint matching performance by utilizing auxiliary information, power mask, which is obtained while constructing fingerprint DB. The power mask is an expected robustness of each fingerprint bit. A caveat of the power mask is the increased storage cost of the fingerprint DB. This paper mitigates the problem by reducing the size of the power mask utilizing spatial correlation of an image. Experiments on a publicly-available image dataset confirmed that the power mask is effective in improving fingerprint matching accuracy.

21세기를 맞이하면서 정보통신기술의 발전과 인터넷 이용 확산 등으로 사용자 인증이 중요한 문제로 대두되고 있으며, 보다 강력한 사용자 인증을 위하여 생체인식 기술의 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 사용자 인증을 위한 생체정보가 타인에게 도용된다면 패스워드나 PIN과 달리 변경이 불가능하므로 심각한 문제를 일으킨다. 본 논문에서는 센서에서 획득된 지문영상을 클라이언트로 안전하게 전송하는 프로토콜을 제안한다. 특히, 계산능력이 부족한 임베디드 프로세스를 내장한 지문센서에서 지문영상을 실시간으로 암호화하기 위하여 지문영상 전체를 암호화하는 대신, 지문영상의 특정 비트 평면만을 암호화하는 부분암호화 알고리즘을 제안한다. 일반적인 부분암호화 방법에서 사용되어지는 최상위 비트 평면으로 부분암호화를 착 경우 간단한 공격으로 지문의 융선정보를 알 수 있기 때문에 지문인식 시스템에 공격이 가능한 문제점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여, 최상위 비트정보 대신 최하위 비트정보를 이용하는 개선된 선택적 비트 평면 암호화 방법을 사용하였다. 제안된 알고리즘의 성능을 분석하기 위해 16비트 임베디드 프로세서를 가진 지문센서를 개발하고 부분암호화 방법을 구현한 결과, 기밀성 보장 및 실시간 처리가 가능함을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 지문입력에서 회전에 의한 오차를 줄이는 방법으로 기존의 지문 입력기를 개선한 새로운 지문 입력 방법을 제안한다. 일반적인 지문 센서는 센서 위에 손가락을 올려서 지문 영상을 획득하는데 주의를 해도 회전이 발생하여 인식률에 영향을 미친다. 개선된 입력 방법은 엄지와 검지의 사이에 지문입력기를 두어 회전을 최소화하는 방법이다. 반도체 지문 입력기를 양쪽으로 부착하여 엄지와 검지를 동시에 집게 형태로 쥐어서 지문을 입력하는 방법이다. 이 방법은 지문을 획득할 때 마다 거의 같은 각도를 유지한다. 실험결과 제안된 방법이 인식률이 향상되었다. 단점으로는 하드웨어 비용이 더 추가 된다.

This paper presents a user identification method at H.264 streaming using watermarking with fingerprints. The watermark can efficiently reduce the potential danger of forgery or alteration. Especially a biometric watermark has convenient, economical advantages. The fingerprint watermark can also improve reliability of verification using automated fingerprint identification systems. These algorithms, however, are not robust against common video compression. To overcome this problem, we analyze H.264 compression pattern and extract watermark after restoring damaged watermark using various filters. The proposed algorithm consists of enhancement of a fingerprint image, watermark insertion using discrete wavelet transform and extraction after restoring. The proposed algorithm can achieve robust watermark extraction against H.264 compressed videos.

최근에, 다양한 멀티미디어 콘텐츠 제작에 따라, 불법복제, 불법배포 및 저작권 침해 등과 같은 문제들이 야기되고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여, 콘텐츠에 저적권 정보를 삽입하는 워터마킹과 RSA를 이용하여 불법복제를 방지하는 DRM에 인증을 위한 암호화하는 방법들이 제안되었다. 본 논문에서는, BIBD코드 기반의 멀티미디어 핑거프린트를 RSA의 DRM을 위하여 영상콘텐츠의 비트플랜에 삽입하고, 디코딩 처리에서 영상전송과 변환을 고려하여 실험을 하였다. 실험결과, Stirmark 공격의 PSNR 30, 40, 70 그리고 80에서, 영상에 삽입된 멀티미디어 핑거프린트 코드가 AWGN 7dB에서 60% 이상 검출되었으며, AWGN 10dB 이상에서는 100%의 완전함을 확인하였다.

In off-line phase of the preliminary Cut-off indoor positioning scheme, which is one of the indoor positioning scheme using the fingerprint, relative ranks of peak RSSIs received from beacons at each reference point are stored in the fingerprint map. In some reference points, signals of multiple beacons may be received. In this case, the relative ranks may be different when constructing fingerprint and when receiving signals in real-time. To solve this problem, we propose a method to utilize only up to five beacons with high ranking when constructing a fingerprint and when receiving signals in real-time and comparing them with stored information of a fingerprint. Experiments were conducted on the estimation probabilities and the average error when using this method. Those are compared with the previous methods. Experimental results show that the estimation probabilities and the average error are improved by removing only the remaining five beacons at each reference point of the fingerprint.

Fingerprint verification is being adopted widely to provide positive identification with a high degree of confidence in all practical areas. This popular usage requires reliable methods for matching of these patterns. To meet the latest expectations, the paper presents a pair wise distance histogram method for fingerprint matching. Here, we introduced a randomized algorithm which exploits pair wise distances between the pairs of minutiae, as a basic feature for match. The method undergoes two steps for completion i.e. first it performs the matching locally then global matching parameters are calculated in second step. The proposed method is robust to common problems that fingerprint matching faces, such as scaling, rotation, translational changes and missing points etc. The paper includes the test of algorithm on various randomly generated minutiae and real fingerprints as well. The results of the tests resemble qualities and utility of method in related field.

Although the PKl-based user authentication solution has been widely used, the security of it can be deteriorated by a simple password. This is because a long and random private key may be protected by a short and easy-to-remember password. To handle this problem, many biometric-based user authentication solutions have been proposed. However, protecting biometric data is another research issue because the compromise of the biometric data will be permanent. In this paper, we present an implementation to improve the security of the typical PKI-based authentication by protecting the private key with a fingerprint. Compared to the unilateral authentication provided by the typical biometric-based authentication, the proposed solution can provide the mutual authentication. In addition to the increased security, this solution can alleviate the privacy issue of the fingerprint data by conglomerating the fingerprint data with the private key and storing the conglomerated data in a user-carry device such as a smart card. With a 32-bit ARM7-based smart card and a Pentium 4 PC, the proposed fingerprint-based PKI authentication can be executed within 1.3second.

With the wide deployment of biometric authentication systems, several issues pertaining security and privacy of the biometric template have gained great attention from the research community. To resolve these issues, a number of biometric template protection methods have been proposed. However, the design of a template protection method to satisfy four criteria, namely diversity, revocability and non-invertibility is still a challenging task, especially performance degradation when template protection method is employed. In this paper, we propose a novel method to generate a revocable minutiae-based fingerprint template. The proposed method consists of feature extraction from fingerprint minutiae pairs, quantization, histogram binning, binarization and eventually binary bit-string generation. The contributions of our method are two fold: alignment-free and good performance. Various experiments on FVC2004 DB1 demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
