SALTING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CANCELABLE IRIS BIOMETRIC
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for generating a cancelable biometric, comprising:
- providing at least one pattern;
combining the at least one pattern with a biometric image by employing a transform pixel operation to generate a transformed enrollment such that information about the transform pixel operation and the at least one pattern form a security key for protecting the biometric image; and
if a new security key is needed, reusing the biometric image to generate the new security key to permit a previous security key to be cancelable.

Abstract
A system and method for generating a cancelable biometric includes providing at least one pattern and combining the at least one pattern with a biometric image by employing a transform pixel operation to generate a transformed enrollment such that information about the transform pixel operation and the at least one pattern form a security key for protecting the biometric image. The biometric image is reused to generate another security key in the event that the security key is to be canceled.

12. A computer readable medium comprising a computer readable program for generating a cancelable biometric, wherein the computer readable program when executed on a computer causes the computer to perform the steps of:
-
providing at least one pattern; combining the at least one pattern with a biometric image by employing a transform pixel operation to generate a transformed enrollment such that information about the transform pixel operation and the at least one pattern form a security key for protecting the biometric image; and if a new security key is needed, reusing the biometric image to generate the new security key to permit a previous security key to be cancelable. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A system for generating a cancelable biometric;
- comprising;
a biometric image input device configured to collect a biometric image from a user; at least one pattern selected from a plurality of patterns; a combining module configured to combine pixels of the at least one pattern with the biometric image by employing a transform pixel operation to generate a transformed enrollment; and a matcher configured to apply a transformed query transformed using the at least one pattern and the transform pixel operation to enable matching of the transformed query to the transformed enrollment to verify an identity of the user. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
