Abstract

Watermarking has been suggested as a means to improve security of biometric systems or to add additional functionalities to such systems. We experimentally investigate the impact of applying a set of blind robust watermarking schemes on the recognition performance of two iris recognition algorithms. We find that different watermarking schemes result in a very different amount of impact rendering the choice of a particular watermarking scheme an important issue to be considered in the investigated context.
