Abstract
In today's networked world, the necessity for highly secured frameworks
is increasing due to a surge in offences such as PC hacking,
unauthorised access to ATMs and mobile devices, and security breaches in
government institutions. Criminals exploit basic vulnerabilities in
existing security systems. In response to these security problems, a
biometric recognition framework is utilised to identify individuals
using distinctive and singular evidence. Individual biometrics cannot be
compromised as readily as a password. A multi-modal framework can
integrate any number of free biometrics, making any biometric system
significantly more effective than if it relied on a single biometric
user verification device. A approach of gradually converging biometric
modalities is included into combination techniques. This study describes
the integration of three biometric characteristics, namely iris, face,
and palm prints, at matching score level architecture employing weighted
sum of score technique and fingerprint identification based on minutiae
extraction approach.
