TOPIC - Steganography in biometric data
- Theoretically the field of biometrics should be able to provide lots of opportunity for hidden information, for example fingerprints, retina scans, etc., but so far the research has proven to be unsuccessful. The goal of this project would be to do a thorough report on the state of the art of existing steganography applications for biometric data and then determine if there is room for improvement. The deliverables of this project will be a very thorough literature study comparing the various approaches and then make suggestions on possible improvements to the model.
QUESTION: Write a research proposal about this topic.
