Overview of biometry: fingerprints and iris

Free access

In this paper we give a survey of biometrical applications in security context. We start with a brief overview of the different biometric modalities which are most frequently used and compare their security contribution with classical cryptographic primitives. We then consider the case of fingerprints when used as password surrogates.
