Abstract: Security is a very important aspect in the biometric systems.Biometric characteristics are unique to an individual hence the compromise of the biometric template is permanent.Attackers mostly attack on template and database of biometric system so securing them is a very crucial issue these days.Moreover the multibiometric systems require storage of multiple biometric templates (e.g., fingerprint, iris, and face) for each user, which results in increased risk to user privacy and system security.In this research paper our focus is on template security in biometrics system and we develop a system to encrypt and decrypt the biometric images.In this work, multi-modal biometric template security for palm print and fingerprint is proposed.At first, the preprocessing steps are applied and subsequently, the features are extracted and combined to simultaneously protect multiple templates.Then different cryptographic techniques are used to encrypt it to make it secure so that even if someone gains access to the encrypted image stored in the database he will not able to reproduce the original image from it and it will be useless for him.
