The biometric steganography methods are able to improve the data security for biometric verification. In this paper, a feature adaptive method is provided for improving the biometric authentication and communication. The work is specifically about to hide the fingerprint feature in facial image and perform the authentication on receiver side after retrieval. The proposed model is defined in three mains stages. In first stage, the facial cover image is processed by generating multiple agents. Each agent analyzed the coverage region based on frequency strength and identify the effective cover region. In second stage, the mathematical filters are applied on fingerprint image to generate the features. In this stage, the sequence based mapping is applied to hide the features within the cover facial region. In final stage, the image features are reterived at the receiver side and performed the authentication over the dataset. The method is applied on a sample of 10 images. The results identified the effective data hiding with significant MSE, PSNR and SSIM values.
