20110271120 | Method and System for Verifying the Identity of an Individual by Employing Biometric Data Features Associated with the Individual - The invention relates to a method for verifying the identity of an individual by employing biometric data features associated with the individual, which method provides privacy of said biometric data features, comprising at least the steps of: a) for enrolment purposes deriving a first biometric template from at least a first set of first biometric data features associated with said individual, and b) for identity verifying purposes deriving a further biometric template from at least a further set of said first biometric data features associated with said individual, and c) comparing said further biometric template with said first biometric template. The invention also relates to a system for verifying the identity of an individual by employing biometric data features associated with the individual, which system at least comprises: an enrolment means and a verifying means, wherein said enrolment means are arranged in deriving a first biometric template data, said first biometric template data being secret and associated with a first set of first biometric data features of said individual, and in receiving a further set of first biometric data features of said individual, and in deriving a further biometric template data associated with said further set of first biometric data, and wherein said verifying means are arranged in comparing the first biometric template data with the further biometric template data to check for correspondence, wherein the identity of the individual is verified if correspondence exists. | 11-03-2011 |
20120087550 | ROBUST BIOMETRIC FEATURE EXTRACTION WITH AND WITHOUT REFERENCE POINT - A basic idea of the present invention is to selectively employ one of at least two different feature extraction processes when generating a biometric template of an individual. An individual offers a physiological property, such as a fingerprint, an iris, an ear, a face, etc., from which biometric data can be derived, to a sensor of an enrolment authority. In the following, the property to be discussed will be fingerprints, even though any suitable biometric property may be used. From the fingerprint, a positional reference point of the biometric data is derived. The derivation of the positional reference point may be accomplished using any appropriate method out of a number of known methods. Such a reference point could be the location of a core, a delta, a weighted average of minutiae coordinates, or alike. Typically, the reference point includes a core of a fingerprint expressed as a three-dimensional coordinate denoted by means of x | 04-12-2012 |
20130036309 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR VERIFYING THE IDENTITY OF AN INDIVIDUAL BY EMPLOYING BIOMETRIC DATA FEATURES ASSOCIATED WITH THE INDIVIDUAL - The invention relates to a system for verifying the identity of an individual by employing biometric data features associated with the individual, which system comprises at least one or more hardware components, an enrolment means, and a verifying means, wherein said enrolment means are arranged in deriving a first biometric template data, said first biometric template data being secret and associated with a first set of first biometric data features of said individual, and in receiving a further set of first biometric data features of said individual, and in deriving a further biometric template data associated with said further set of first biometric data, and wherein said verifying means are arranged in comparing the first biometric template data with the further biometric template data to check for correspondence, wherein the identity of the individual is verified if correspondence exists. The invention aims to provide a solution to the above identified drawbacks and thereto at least one of said hardware components is provided with at least one component specific data feature associated therewith and wherein said enrolment means are arranged in associating at least one of said component specific data features with said biometric template data. | 02-07-2013 |

20100306550 | DEFINING CLASSIFICATION THRESHOLDS IN TEMPLATE PROTECTION SYSTEMS - A method for configuring a biometric template protected authentif ication system, in which the desired classification threshold (T) is first selected to optimize the trade-i off between FAR and FRR of the system, and then the ECC used in the authentif ication process is chosen such that the number (b) of errors which can be corrected thereby is equal to or greater than the selected classification threshold. During authentif ication, the number (b) of errors in a first codeword derived from biometric data associated with a physical object is determined and used in the decision process to accept or reject authentif ication. | 12-02-2010 |
20110035597 | SECURE INDIRECT ADDRESSING - An efficient solution for secure implementation of indirect addressing (IA) is described. IA may be used, for example, in networks of which the routing algorithms are not capable of multicast but also contain very constrained devices that, although requiring multicast, are not capable of repeated unicast. This ID is useful in wireless networks containing low-power low-cost devices. | 02-10-2011 |
20120308093 | Method and System for Generating a Representation of a Finger Print Minutiae Information - The invention relates to a method for generating a representation of a finger print minutiae information. The invention also relates to a method for generating a representation of a finger print for biometric template protection purposes Biometric template protection techniques provide technological means to protect the privacy of biometric reference information stored in biometric. systems These methods stand in sharp contrast to approaches where biometric information is protected only by legislation and procedures around storage facilities. These systems are not reliable as they are susceptible to human and procedural errors. Template protection guarantees the protection of biometric information without the assumption that individuals are trusted or procedures are properly implemented. | 12-06-2012 |
