This document summarizes a research paper that proposes improvements to fingerprint authentication security. It introduces a user credentials login layer to authenticate users before fingerprint authentication. It also enhances fingerprint templates through histogram equalization and revamping techniques to reconstruct partial fingerprints. This aims to increase accuracy for partial fingerprint recognition systems commonly used in devices. The paper analyzes prior work on template selection, indirect attacks and countermeasures. It then describes the proposed multi-layer authentication system and evaluates its performance using standard fingerprint databases, showing improved efficiency and accuracy over systems without the added security layers.
