%X In this paper a biometric authentication system based on Fingerprint. A fingerprint is the representation of the epidermis of a finger. It consists of a pattern of interleaved ridges and valleys. Like everything in the body fingerprint ridges form through a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Finger prints are fully formed at about seven months of fetus development. Fingerprint ridges don¡¯t change throughout the life of an individual except in case of accidents such as cuts on the fingertip (or) burns on the fingertip. In this paper we proposed a hybrid model to compress the fingerprints.
