A fingerprint authentication system should be vulnerable to variety of attacks. In fingerprint authentication system the key element in which security is needed is fingerprint template database. In this paper we propose a scheme to secure fingerprint template database using steganography. In this scheme steganography is applied at two levels which increase security of the system and make authentication of user reliable. %U http://www.ijeecs.org/archive/02.December_2012_IJEECS_p21332.pdf?attredirects=0
