Fingerprint Authentication by wavelets (original) (raw)

Proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Information Systems and Technologies

Abstract

Reliable identification of individuals is a field in full growth. It is very requested in many areas, not only in the military environments or police but also in many civil applications, for example, the control of access to the systems of financial transactions (banks, cash flow...etc.). Traditional systems of security are based on knowledge (password, PIN-code...) or on a possession (badge, magnetic card, key, etc.), but these systems are less reliable for many environments, because of their inadequacy common to differentiate between an individual actually authorized and a fraudster (individual having acquired access privileges fraudulently). The solution to these problems has been found in the authentication technologies based on biometrics. A biometric system is a system of recognition of patterns which establishes the authenticity of a character, physiological or behavioral specific. The identification may be in the form of verification of identity (verification of the authenticity of a purported identity) or in the form of recognition (find the correspondence between identity and another among a set of known persons). Many biometric technologies have been developed, all based on biometric identifiers (iris, voice, fingerprints, face, signature...). In this article, we propose a method of biometric recognition of a person by fingerprint based on wavelet transforms.
