An Integrated Soft Computing Approach to a Multi Biometric Security Model

Abstract

The application of biometrics for human identification has multiplied manifold over the past decade, especially in large-scale national identification applications, both for security and social welfare initiatives. The substantial increase in scale and diversity of population that needs to be covered by biometrics has made single instances of biometric evidence (e.g., fingerprints) to be inadequate. Large scale biometric systems need to rely on multi-modal biometric techniques that fuse together multiple biometric traits (e.g., fingerprint and iris) to establish uniqueness of identity of an individual. newline
