Abstract
A system and method for generating a cancelable biometric includes shifting at least one pixel region in a biometric image comprised of pixel regions. The at least one pixel region is combined with at least one other pixel region to form a replacement region for the at least one pixel region to form a transformed image. The biometric image is reused to generate another transformed image if the transformed image is to be canceled.
