Developing Reliable Bio-Crypto Features for Mobile Template Protection. Cost of identity theft crimes were at multi-million dollars in Australia in 2007. Technically this is due to the fact that conventional personal identification number and token based security mechanisms cannot identify genuine users.

Technically this is due to the fact that conventional personal identification number and token based security mechanisms cannot identify genuine users. Biometric fingerprint security systems emerge as a promising solution. However protection of the mobile embedded fingerprint template itself is an unresolved problem. The project aims to develop new ways designing bio-cryptosystems that provide strong security strength. The project will bring new body of knowledge into this field and place Australia in the forefront of this research, and also result in strengthened security of IT infrastructure and systems for industries.Read moreRead less

Summary
Revocable multi-dimensional shape-based multimodal hand biometrics for personal identification and verification. This project will investigate a new personal verification system based on hand biometrics. It will make significant improvements by thwarting identity frauds; creating trust in ebanking and epayments; providing social acceptance of biometrics; helping immigration and passport control; and reducing use of plastic cards to safeguard the environment.
