“…The American National Standards Institute [21] classifies the minutiae into four types including the ridge ending, the ridge bifurcations, compound (trifurcation or crossovers), and type undetermined. The FBI minutiae-coordinate model [22] considers only ridge endings and bifurcations, which is widely adopted in the minutiae template. In this model, each minutiae is represented in three fields including 1) The x-coordinate (horizontal) of the location.…”

In this paper, we propose a novel scheme for data hiding in the fingerprint minutiae template, which is the most popular in fingerprint recognition systems. Various strategies are proposed in data embedding in order to maintain the accuracy of fingerprint recognition as well as the undetectability of data hiding. In bits replacement based data embedding, we replace the last few bits of each element of the original minutiae template with the data to be hidden. This strategy can be further improved using an optimized bits replacement based data embedding, which is able to minimize the impact of data hiding on the performance of fingerprint recognition. The third strategy is an order preserving mechanism which is proposed to reduce the detectability of data hiding. By using such a mechanism, it would be difficult for the attacker to differentiate the minutiae template with hidden data from the original minutiae templates. The experimental results show that the proposed data hiding scheme achieves sufficient capacity for hiding common personal data, where the accuracy of fingerprint recognition is acceptable after the data hiding.
