De-identification, which is defined as the process of removing or concealing personal identifiers or replacing them with surrogate personal identifiers to prevent direct or indirect identification of a person, is recognized as an efficient tool for protection of a person's privacy that is one of the most important social and political issues of today's information society. The chapter “De-identification for privacy protection in biometrics” aims to review the progress of recent research on the de-identification of biometric personal identifiers. The chapter covers de-identification of physiological biometric identifiers (face, fingerprint, iris, ear), behavioural biometric identifiers (voice, gait, gesture), as well as soft biometrics identifiers (body silhouette, gender, tattoo) and discuss different threats to person's privacy in biometrics.
