Abstract
Personnel identification by ID images is the main authentication source of the security system. For multiple authentication unique biometric authentication features like finger print, signature and personal identification marks can also be used. Instead of sending these features additionally, they can be embedded in the personal ID images itself. In this paper we propose an algorithm for image fusion for personal ID image using blind and zero watermarking. By using the secret key the embedded information can be extracted. Experimental result shows that the algorithm is robust against various attacks like JPEG compression and few image processing methods.
