For the existing security problem based on Fuzzy Vault algorithm, we propose a cancelable fingerprint template encryption scheme in this paper. The main idea is to firstly construct an irreversible transformation function, and then apply the function to transform the original template and template information is stored after conversion. Experimental results show it effectively prevents the attack from fingerprint template data and improves security of the system by using minutiae descriptor to encrypt abscissa of the vault.
The experiment uses public FVC2004 fingerprint database to test, result shows that although the recognition rate of the proposed algorithm is slightly lower than the original program, but the improved algorithm security and complexity are better, and therefore the proposed algorithm is feasible in general.
