This method can reduce the risk of data theft or leakage of personal information captured by biometric sensing. This method, termed encrypted sensing, is implemented using digital holography with double random phase encoding. We demonstrate experimentally that a fingerprint image can be captured as an optically encrypted image and can be restored correctly only when the correct cipher key is used. Moreover, we investigate experimentally the verification accuracy of the decrypted images. %K Biometric Authentication %K Digital Holography %K Double Random Phase Encoding %K Fingerprinting %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=53138
