Abstract

Today, biometrics is a research field in full expansion, several identification and verification systems are now being developed, however their performance is inadequate to meet the growing needs of security. The use of a single biometric modality decreases, in most cases, the reliability of these systems, which prompted us to combine several modality. This article provides a complementary aspect to the improved performance of biometric systems namely the protection of privacy. Techniques have been proposed in the last decade on the biometric template protection. Include BioHashing that wants a generalization of biometrics a hash function to protect the biometric data. The main objective is the protection of privacy. This paper presents state of the art specific algorithms, which are illustrated with recent work by researchers in this field.
