Fingerprint Template Security: A Proposed Framework for Enhancing Fingerprint Authentication System Using Fragile Image Watermarking Technique

The wide use of digital media in these recent days has led to an increase of digital piracy and tampering especially for biometric identification system. This research presents the concept of information hiding and one of its sub areas is called fragile image watermarking. While the biometrics techn...
