A two-factor protection scheme for MCC fingerprint templates

Minutia Cylinder-Code (MCC) is an effective representation for robust and fast fingerprint matching. To avoid that MCC templates can disclose sensitive information about position and angle of minutiae, a protected MCC representation was recently introduced (called P-MCC). In spite of a satisfactory level of accuracy and irreversibility, P-MCC templates cannot be revoked. In this paper we propose a two-factor protection scheme that makes P-MCC templates revocable.
