Biometric Authentication

As people become more connected electronically, the ability to achieve a highly accurate automatic personal identification system is more critical. Biometric technology is a way to achieve fast, user-friendly authentication with a high level of accuracy. This presentation will highlight some of the benefits and the few limits of using biometrics for authentication. Emerging applications, both w...

Privacy Protecting Biometric Authentication Systems As biometrics gains popularity and proliferates into the daily life, there is an increased concern over the loss of privacy and potential misuse of biometric data held in central repositories. The major concerns are about i) the use of biometrics to track people, ii) non-revocability of biometrics (eg. if a fingerprint is compromised it can no...

SEMBA:SEcure multi-biometric authentication

Biometrics security is a dynamic research area spurred by the need to protect personal traits from threats like theft, non-authorised distribution, reuse and so on. A widely investigated solution to such threats consists in processing the biometric signals under encryption, to avoid any leakage of information towards non-authorised parties. In this paper, we propose to leverage on the superior ...

Multifactor Biometric Sketch Authentication

In this paper we propose a multifactor biometric sketch authentication method based on biometric sketch recognition and a user’s personal knowledge about the sketch‘s content, which is negotiated between the biometric authentication system and the user during enrollment. The used sketch recognition algorithm is based on the active shape structural model (ASSM) for analyzing the structural varia...
