Cancelable template protection techniques are indispensable to provide essential security and privacy privileges in biometric systems. This paper introduces an efficient cancelable palmprint recognition technique based on multi-level transformations. Gabor filtering with feature remapping is introduced for extracting highly discriminative features. Histogram remapping is applied to nonlinearly transform the downsampled Gabor features to be normally distributed. This feature-remapping step is proposed to enhance the discriminatory power and alleviate the effect of feature variability and image artifacts. Comb filtering is applied to the mapped features as a first protection layer. To provide security guarantees against linkability attacks, index-based locality-sensitive hashing (LSH) is introduced as a second protection layer to transform the comb-filtered mapped real-valued features into maximum-ranked indices …
