A biometric is a distinct biological trait that can be used to recognize a person. Fingerprints have been used for over a century and are the most widely used for user identification. Fingerprint identification is commonly employed in Forensic science to support criminal investigations and in biometric systems such as civilian and commercial identification devices.Fingerprint is the pattern of ...

Biometric systems gain more and more attention in everyday life regarding authentication and surveillance of persons. This includes, amongst others, the login on a notebook based on fingerprint verification, controlling of airports or train stations, and the biometric identity card. Although these systems have several advantages in comparison to traditional approaches, they exhibit high risks r...

Single biometric modality recognition is not able to meet the high performance supplies in most cases with its application become more and more broadly. Multimodal biometrics identification represents an emerging trend recently. This paper investigates a novel algorithm based on fusion of both fingerprint and fingervein biometrics. For both biometric recognition, we employ the Monogenic Local B...

Unimodal biometric systems have to contend with a variety of problems such as noisy data, intra-class variations, restricted degrees of freedom, non-universality; phishing attacks spoof attacks, and high false acceptance rates. In order for the biometrics to be ultra-secure and to provide more-than-average accuracy, more then one form of biometric identification is required. Hence some of these...

The authentication based on biometric information has several advantages compared to solely password-based systems, which has led to a growing interest of industry and of public authorities in biometric-based systems. To meet the high security standards concerning biometric data, template protection systems such as the fuzzy vault are indispensable to maintain the secrecy of the critical inform...

In the context of emerging technologies, Cloud Computing (CC) was introduced as a new paradigm to host and deliver Information Technology Services. Cloud computing is a new model for delivering resources. However, there are many critical problems appeared with cloud computing, such as data privacy, security, and reliability, etc. But security is the most important between these problems. Biomet...

Kukula, Eric, P., Ph.D., Purdue University, August, 2008. Design and Evaluation of the Human-Biometric Sensor Interaction Method. Major Professor: Stephen J. Elliott. This research investigates the development and testing of the HumanBiometric Sensor Interaction Evaluation Method that used ergonomics, usability, and image quality criteria as explanatory variables of overall biometric system per...

Biometric based recognition is the science of identifying or verifying the identity of a person based on physiological and or behavioral characteristics. Biometric recognition offers many advantages over traditional PIN number or password and token-based (e.g., ID cards) approaches. A biometric trait cannot be easily transferred, forgotten or lost, the rightful owner of the biometric template c...

Nowadays need of increased security in various domains of real life activities demands Automatic Authentication System with fast execution time and accuracy. There are different biometric technologies. But among all biometric technologies, Automatic Fingerprint Matcher System is widely used for person verification and identification. In the Fingerprint Matcher system, different matching methods...
