Fingerprint is widely used trait for person recognition in civilian applications. A user is authenticated when matching score is greater than acceptance threshold. The performance of fingerprint system (FS) is evaluated based on false acceptance rate (FAR) and false rejection rate (FRR). Usually the FS is set to work at a rate where FAR and FRR are equal (EER). However, operating at EER allows finite FAR which is risky during critical threat. In response acceptance threshold must shifts towards zero FAR to mitigate threat. This increases FRR, system load and user inconvenience. In civilian application acceptance threshold is set by vendor and currently there is no research attempt to change it dynamically. This is necessary as; 1) system must respond to external parameters like load and threat level; 2) system must balance security and user convenience due to high traffic?c. This paper describes a method to change acceptance threshold over the interval EER to zero FAR based on system load and threat level. The proposed method is based on fuzzy inference system (FIS) and artificial neural network (ANN).

“…Currently, different goals of multipurpose schemes are achieved at the cost of using multiple watermarks. One of the main contributions of our paper is to accomplish this task with a single watermark [The terms mutipurpose as well as hybrid/ dual/ double/ multiple watermarking are also used by some authors to indicate other objectives (see for example [10–12]]).…”

Currently, the existing literature on multipurpose watermarking employs multiple watermarks for simultaneous achieving of multiple security objectives. This approach can be problematic since a watermark targeting tampers might fail to detect tampering of another watermark inserted for copyright violation. Moreover, most of the current schemes follow a non‐blind approach where the original watermark is needed for authentication. A question that naturally arises is whether multipurpose watermarking can be realised with the insertion of a single watermark in a blind way or not. The goal of the authors study is to provide an affirmative answer to this important question. They show how a cryptographic primitive called verifiable threshold secret sharing can be used to come up with a generic construction for blind multipurpose watermarking which inserts a single watermark into the host image for simultaneous achieving of copyright protection, authentication, and tamper localisation. The generic property of the proposed scheme provides flexibility for choosing the embedding/extraction of the watermark based on the desired level of fidelity, robustness and capacity. Experimental results are provided to confirm the superiority of their proposed technique as compared to existing approaches.

A fingerprint system database requires: 1. immunity against offensives like unauthorized data injection, denial of service; 2. privacy protection. Ensuring commutativity between reversible watermarking and encryption concurrently satisfy both requirements. However, reversible watermarking in existing commutative schemes has a security hole. Their fingerprint database can be manipulated by watermark substitution and most significant bit tampering. The proposed method improves reversible watermarking in the commutative scheme. Experimental results shows that the improved scheme is tamper-proof against watermark substitution and most significant bit tampering. It effectively avoids unauthorized data injection and denial of service through database.
