description Despite significant advancements in fingerprint-based authentication, existing models still suffer from challenges such as high false acceptance and rejection rates, computational inefficiency, and vulnerability to spoofing attacks. Addressing these limitations is crucial for ensuring reliable biometric security in real-world applications, including law enforcement, financial transactions, and border security. This study proposes a hybrid deep learning approach that integrates Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) with Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks to enhance fingerprint authentication accuracy and robustness. The CNN component efficiently extracts intricate fingerprint patterns, while the LSTM module captures sequential dependencies to refine feature representation. The proposed model achieves a classification accuracy of 99.42%, reducing the false acceptance rate (FAR) to 0.31% and the false rejection rate (FRR) to 0.27%, demonstrating a 12% improvement over traditional CNN-based models. Additionally, the optimized architecture reduces computational overheads, ensuring faster processing suitable for real-time authentication systems. These findings highlight the superiority of hybrid deep learning techniques in biometric security by providing a quantifiable enhancement in both accuracy and efficiency. This research contributes to the advancement of secure, adaptive, and high-performance fingerprint authentication systems, bridging the gap between theoretical advancements and real-world applications.
