Biometric Recognition System plays vital role in aspect of security. Among all physiological and behavioral biometric modalities, current study focuses on fingerprint recognition from physiological biometric modality. Fingerprint recognition plays key role in success of user authentication to verify and identify an individual with matching of his/her fingerprint. It is one kind of pattern recognition method which acquires the set of minutiae features from an individual finger image and compare it with the minutiae features available in template image. This research paper focuses on the challenges resides in fingerprint authentication, limitations in methodology used for processing, proposed research model to solve these limitations, Significant of proposed research work show the solution of challenges with implemented work using FVC2000 and FingerDOS databases.
