The work was part of the EPSRC grant on &#8220;Template-Free Biometric Encryption for Data Integrity Assurance&#8221;.<br \/>\nAbstract<br \/>\nWith the increasing employment of biometric authentication systems worldwide there has been significant concern over the security regarding the storage of biometric templates. In this paper, a fuzzy vault fingerprint smartcard implementation, which is unlocked by using an orientation-based feature vector, is presented. The fuzzy vault contains an unknown key which can be used either for identification or for file encryption\/decryption.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Karl Harmer and Gareth Howells received the Best Paper Award for &#8220;Fuzzy Vault Fingerprint Smartcard Implementation using an Orientation-Based Feature Vector, K.
