Cryptanalysis of Cancelable Biometrics Vault
Patrick Lacharme, Kevin Thiry-Atighehchi
Cancelable Biometrics (CB) stands for a range of biometric transformation schemes combining biometrics with user specific tokens to generate secure templates. Required properties a…
Accuracy Limits as a Barrier to Biometric System Security
Axel Durbet, Paul-Marie Grollemund, Pascal Lafourcade +1
Biometric systems are widely used for identity verification and identification, including authentication (i.e., one-to-one matching to verify a claimed identity) and identification…
Exploit the Leak: Understanding Risks in Biometric Matchers
Axel Durbet, Kevin Thiry-Atighehchi, Dorine Chagnon +1
In a biometric authentication or identification system, the matcher compares a stored and a fresh template to determine whether there is a match. This assessment is based on both a…
Untargeted Near-collision Attacks on Biometrics: Real-world Bounds and Theoretical Limits
Axel Durbet, Paul-Marie Grollemund, Kevin Thiry-Atighehchi
A biometric recognition system can operate in two distinct modes: identification or verification. In the first mode, the system recognizes an individual by searching the enrolled t…
