Real Fuzzy Vault for Protecting Face Template

Face recognition techniques have been widely used for various areas including criminal identification due to their capability of easy implementing and user friendly interface. However, they have some drawbacks related to individual`s privacy in case that his or her face information is divulged to illegal users. So, this paper proposed a novel method for protecting face template based on the real fuzzy vault. This proposed method has some advantages of regenerating a new face template when a registered face template is disclosed. Through implementing and testing the proposed method, we showed its validity and usefulness.
