Samenvatting
In 1999 Juels and Wattenberg introduced the fuzzy commitment scheme. Fuzzy
commitment is a particular realization of a binary biometric secrecy system with
a chosen secret key. Three cases of biometric sources are considered, i.e. memory-
less and totally-symmetric biometric sources, memoryless and input-symmetric
biometric sources, and memoryless biometric sources. It is shown that fuzzy
commitment is only optimal for memoryless totally-symmetric biometric sources
and only at the maximum secret-key rate. Moreover, it is demonstrated that for
memoryless biometric sources, which are not input-symmetric, the fuzzy com-
mitment scheme leaks information on both the secret key and the biometric data.
