Abstract

We present the design and implementation of a fingerprint-based remote authentication system. In this system, the fingerprint features captured at a client terminal are transmitted over a communication channel to a central server location where the verification takes place. In order to overcome replay attacks, we propose an original approach to fingerprint matching that relies on different fingerprint features for every execution of the authentication protocol. The paper also introduces an efficient approach for fingerprint image enhancement that constitutes the core of the feature extraction module included in the proposed authentication system. A public domain collection of fingerprint images is used to evaluate the system performance. The experimental results reveal that the proposed system can achieve good matching performance on this data collection and, furthermore, is able to accurately reject replay attacks.
