The integration of data privacy and security into radio frequency identification (RFID) technology, particularly into RFID tags, has become one of the most attractive research areas. A crucial challenge in RFID technology research lies in providing an efficient protection for systems against information theft and illegitimate access. This article proposes a secure solution based on an RFID card for physical biometric access-control applications. This is done by integrating two biometric modalities, namely face and fingerprint which are secured via a double watermarking technique. The suggested approach is ensured by two levels of watermarking. At the first level, the wavelet packet decomposition watermarking algorithm is used to insert features from the fingerprint (minutiae) in the face image of an authorized person. At the second level, the same watermarking algorithm is employed to insert the fingerprint watermark in the face features extracted by Gabor filters from the previously watermarked face image (at the first level). The obtained secured watermarked biometric data are then integrated in a 1-kB high frequency proximity RFID card. This combination of both RFID technology and the double watermarking technique provides a biometric control access framework.Compared with the state-of-the-art frameworks, the proposed one ensures a good compromise between a reduced computational complexity and a high level of data security while maintaining a small space of storage and a low cost compared to those of the marketed products.

In this paper, a new reversible and blind fingerprint image watermarking technique based on the differential method and discrete cosine transform (DCT) domains is presented. The focus is to increase the security of the fingerprint image in authentication systems. Two DCT-transformed sub-vectors are employed to embed the bits of the watermark sequence in a differential scheme. The original sub-vectors are acquired by the DCT transform on the host fingerprint image. In the extraction process, a minor variance between the sub-vectors that correspond to the watermarked fingerprint image directly allows access to the embedded watermark sequence; therefore, the extraction process doesn’t require an original fingerprint. The original fingerprint image is then recovered from the watermarked fingerprint image based on the reversible watermarking technique. The similarity between the reversible fingerprint image and the original is considered, and we could extract minutiae points from it without a problem. The proposed technique is evaluated using 80 fingerprint images from 10 persons for each from FVC2002 fingerprint database. Eight fingerprint images have been taken from each person to be used as the template then the process was followed by embedding the watermark into each fingerprint image. The experimental results validate the proposed method able to give promising results in preserving the fingerprint image security.
