Hashing technology gains much attention in protecting the biometric template lately. For instance, Index-of-Max (IoM), a recent reported hashing technique, is a ranking-based locality sensitive hashing technique, which illustrates the feasibility to protect the ordered and fixed-length biometric template. However, biometric templates are not always in the form of ordered and fixed-length, rather it may be an unordered and variable size point set e.g. fingerprint minutiae, which restricts the usage of the traditional hashing technology. In this paper, we proposed a generalized version of IoM hashing namely gIoM, and therefore the unordered and variable size biometric template can be used. We demonstrate a realization using a well-known variable size feature vector, fingerprint Minutia Cylinder-Code (MCC). The gIoM transforms MCC into index domain to form indexing-based feature representation. Consequently, the inversion of MCC from the transformed representation is computational infeasible, thus to achieve non-invertibility while the performance is preserved. Public fingerprint databases FVC2002 and FVC2004 are employed for experiment as benchmark to demonstrate a fair comparison with other methods. Moreover, the security and privacy analysis suggest that gIoM meets the criteria of template protection: non-invertibility, revocability, and non-linkability.
