Biometrics systems are automated systems that recognize a person based on physical or behavioral characteristics. There are a number of primary biometric disciplines including fingerprint, facial recognition, voice recognition, iris scan, and retina scan. A multimodal biometric system refers to a combination of the above physiological and behavioral human characteristics. There are many crucial...

Biometrics have a long-held hope of replacing passwords by establishing a non-repudiated identity and providing authentication with convenience. Convenience drives consumers toward biometrics-based access management solutions. Unlike passwords, biometrics cannot be script-injected; however, biometric data is considered highly sensitive due to its personal nature and unique association with user...

Biometrics attracts attention since person authentication becomes very important in networked society. As the biometrics, the fingerprint, iris, face, ear, vein, gate, voice and signature are well known and are used in various applications (Jain et al., 1999; James et al., 2005). Especially, assuming mobile access using a portable terminal such as a personal digital assistant (PDA), a camera, m...

Biometrics have long been used as means to recognize people, mainly in terms of their physiological characteristics, for various commercial applications ranging from surveillance and access control against potential impostors to smart interfaces (Qazi (2004)) (Xiao (2005)). These systems require reliable personal recognition schemes to either confirm or determine the identity of an individual r...

IEEE SIGNAL PROCESSING MAGAZINE 50 MARCH 2004 ecuring the exchange of intellectual property and providing protection to multimedia contents in distribution systems have enabled the advent of digital rights management (DRM) systems [5], [14], [21], [47], [51], [53]. Rights holders should be able to license, monitor, and track the usage of rights in a dynamic digital trading environment, especial...

This paper proposes a protocol, called BIO3G, for embedding biometrics in 3G security. BIO3G is an enhanced alternative to the common practice of utilizing biometrics locally, for gaining access to the device. BIO3G provides real end-to-end strong user authentication to the mobile operator, requiring no storing or transferring of biometric data and eliminating the need for biometric enrolment a...

An accurate Access Control System is critical in a wide range of application domains such as national ID cards, electronic commerce systems, and automated banking systems. A Biometrics based Access Control System based on a person’s physiological or behavioral characteristics is inherently more reliable and more capable in differentiating between an authorized person and a fraudulent imposter t...

Smart cities and their applications have become attractive research fields birthing numerous technologies. Fifth generation (5G) networks are important components of smart cities, where intelligent access control is deployed for identity authentication, online banking, cyber security. To assure secure transactions to protect user's identities against cybersecurity threats, strong authentication...

The rising number of networked computers and the evolution of the WWW have witnessed the emergence of an E-World where the users are often referred to as e-people. In the new e-world, the evolution of WWW and Internet applications has become a focal point to the question of sustainable competitive advantage (Brennan & Johnson,2001).The increase in information access terminals along with the gro...
