I need to organize a chapter in a book called (Advances in Security of Biometrics)
The chapter name is (embedding a particular feature into a biometric image/data).
I have the freedom to organize this chapter.
So, I want to embed watermark data into fingerprint image using wavelet transform technique such as DTCWT or DCT or any other wavelet transforms without affecting minutiae points in the fingerprint image.
Below the Guideline for Chapter Contribution and some other related information
1. Chapter basics.
Draft must single space
Have a one -inch (2.5 cm) margin on all sides
At most 30 pages
contain at most 9 images (images include screenshots, figures, tables, graphics, etc.)
have text left-justified
have text set as 12-pt. Times New Roman font
Include the title on the top of the first page.
List the authors and their affiliations and countries directly under the title
2. Copyright Issues
•Acquiring permission for copyrighted images. Please obtain written permission to include any copyrighted images (whether they be screenshots [e.g., a screenshot of a page from a company's Web site, a screenshot of a scene from a video game, etc.], figures, tables, graphics, etc.) in your chapter.
•After you obtain permission, you are then responsible to indicate in the caption of the image the original source of the image and that it is being used in your chapter with permission. Your caption should look something like this:
Figure 1. [insert caption here]. (© [insert copyright year here], [insert copyright holder's name here]. Used with permission.).
Please note that, should you create an image that is loosely based on another copyrighted image, you must indicate in the image caption that your image is adapted from another copyrighted image and then provide the original source:
Figure 1. [insert caption here]. (Adapted from [insert source of copyrighted image here]).
•As some publishers require that you obtain permission for use of even an image that you may have adapted from one of their images, please investigate as to whether or not permission is needed for your adapted image.

Advances in Security of Biometrics
Aims and Objectives:
Modern biometrics is defined as the science of using biological properties to identify individuals. Biometrics delivers an enhanced level of security by means of a "proof of property". Rather than extrinsic object identifiers, the claimant's proof is directly connected to their intrinsic human characteristics. Security by means of biometrics, owing to their uniqueness property and non-repudiation nature, spares the users from the trouble of losing or forgetting a password or a token, and uses the user's physical traits or characteristics, making it difficult for their identity to be duplicated or shared with others, owing to their uniqueness property and non-repudiation nature.
The design and deployment of a biometric system, however, hides many pitfalls, which when underestimated can lead to major security weaknesses and privacy threats. Issues of concern include identity theft and privacy invasion due to strong binding between the user and their identity. To make things worse, biometric templates, once compromised are difficult to revoke or be replaced; they are rendered unusable, just as with a password. The message emerging from this analysis is to completely avoid storing of biometric data or perhaps, to avoid storing of biometric data to the fullest possible extent, as a preventive and defensive measure.
This book will showcase a collection of comprehensive references on the latest advances in biometric template security which is a relatively new and multi-disciplinary area of research emerged since 1998.
Topics to include, but are not limited to:
• Security and Privacy on Biometrics Template
• Analysis and Evaluation of Biometric Template Technology
• Biometrics System Attacks and Defenses
• Biometric Liveliness Detection
• Biometrics Alteration
• Multimodal Biometrics Security
• Privacy enhanced Biometric Systems with Homomorphic Encryption
• Protocols, Cryptography, Standards for Biometrics Systems
• Biometric Watermarking
• Biometric and Forensics
• Reliability, Availability and Dependability of Biometrics Systems and Applications
• Biometrics systems for secure applications
The primary audience for the book includes researchers, scholars, graduate students, engineers, practitioners and developers who are interested in security and privacy related issues in biometric systems. The managers of organizations with strong security needs will find this book of great value.
