An Efficient Watermarking Technique for Biometric Images

This paper provides a good way of digital watermarking framework using biometric image as watermark by the application of homomorphic encryption system. Thus, it provides data confidentiality and also authenticity. Here, the biometric image is watermarked inside the standard benchmark images. The robustness of the watermarks in the image are verified through measurement of Peak Signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR), Correlation coefficient (CC%), and noise test. The biometric images are obtained by subtracting watermarked images with benchmark images. (C) 2017 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
