In practice, biometric template protection schemes require favourable conditions, i.e. low intra-class variability [36]. Biometric template ageing, which has been most studied in the context of face recognition, causes increased intra-class variability [24], i.e. requirements on template protection do not coincide with ageing effects. In this work implications of ageing effects on template protection are discussed for various types of technologies and possible countermeasures are proposed. In a case study on iris biometric fuzzy commitment schemes the effects of ageing are investigated over a time period of two years. Experimental studies confirm recent investigations on iris template ageing effects [11], observing a significant decrease in the performance of fuzzy commitment schemes.
