摘要

Fingerprint recognition systems offer a secure, scalable, and non-intrusive method for biometric authentication. However, conventional approaches often struggle with low-quality or partial prints, spoofing attacks, and reduced reliability in real-world conditions. This study presents a biometric cryptosystem that integrates deep learning-based feature extraction with Reed-Solomon (RS) error correction to enhance both accuracy and robustness. The proposed system uses convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to extract hierarchical fingerprint features, which are then discretized and encoded using RS coding for secure and error-tolerant key generation. Fingerprint images from the Sokoto Coventry Fingerprint (SOCOFing) dataset are preprocessed through scaling, normalization, and region of interest (ROI) segmentation before feature extraction. The system is implemented using Python and TensorFlow. Experimental results show perfect authentication performance, achieving a false acceptance rate (FAR) and false rejection rate (FRR) of 0, and a genuine acceptance rate (GAR) of 100%. An area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 1.0 and strong precision-recall metrics further confirm the model’s effectiveness. The cryptosystem also supports efficient enrollment and accurate real-time authentication across multiple users, demonstrating scalability and practical applicability.
