Enhancing security of fingerprints through contexture biometric watermarking Afzel Noore, Richa Singh, Mayank Vatsa and Max M. Houck Forensic Science International, In Press, 2006 Present by 黃建禎
Outlines • Introduction • Proposed watermarking scheme • Experimental results • Conclusions
Introduction (1/2) Fingerprint • Chain of custody • Problems: • Data mismatches and mishandling • High cost of storage • Longer time for retrieval • Unauthorized tampering of the files in the database Facial image Demographic text
Introduction (2/2) • Provide a multiple watermarking scheme for verifying the chain of custody • Advantages: • Eliminates data mismatch • Reduces the high cost of storage • Speeds the retrieval of related data • Detects tampering
Proposed Watermarking Scheme Original fingerprint Watermarked fingerprint DWT IDWT (Grayscale) (Grayscale) Facial image Demographic text Watermarks = + (Grayscale) (Binary)
Proposed Watermarking Scheme – Embedding Face Watermark pixels = {125, 70, …} Replace Most-significant: 1, 0, … Intermediate: 2, 7, … Least-significant: 5, 0, … I = {2, 7, …} L = {5, 0, …} Replace Replace M = {1, 0, …}
Proposed Watermarking Scheme – Embedding Text Watermark bits = {11000011…} wa = αwm α = 20 Replace
Proposed Watermarking Scheme – Extracting Texture Features LH1 Texture Map LH1 Texture Mask
Experimental results (1/3) • Automatic Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS)
Experimental results (2/3) • Image processing attacks
Quality of extracted watermarks Robustness of extracted watermarks Experimental results (3/3)
Conclusions • The matching ability of watermarked fingerprint can resist common attacks. • The original image is not required for extracting watermarks. • The extracted face and text images are of high quality. • The watermarks protect the integrity of fingerprint images.
