Biometric authentication technologies, such as fingerprint, face, iris, and vein, have been widespread in many applications from individual portable devices to national ID management systems. Furthermore, relatively newer biometric authentication modalities including eye movement, lip-motion, etc., have been also researched and developed in order to improve an authentication accuracy and an usa...

Multi-biometric systems are being increasingly deployed in many large biometric applications, because they have several advantages such as lower error rates. Multi-biometric systems require storage of multiple biometric templates (e.g., fingerprint, iris and face) for each user, which results in increased user privacy and system security. The features of fingerprint, iris and face are obtained....

Most of the biometric research being done is for adults and the identification accuracy of new born are least reported in the literatures. In this paper we propose a novel biometric identification method for new born babies using their face and soft biometrics. Accurate patient identification (ID) is essential for patient safety, especially with our smallest and most vulnerable podiatric patien...

A digital certificate under Public Key Infrastructure has a defect of Man-in-the-Middle Attack that performs hash collision attacks. In this paper, we propose a robust biometric-PKI authentication system against Man-in-the-Middle Attack. The biometric-PKI authentication system consists of current PKI authentication and biometric authentication, which employs biometric data and a public key from...

Multimodal biometric systems utilize multiple biometric sources in order to increase robustness as compared to single biometric system. Most of the biometric systems in real are single or multimodal authentication system. This paper presents an efficient multimodal low resolution face and finger veins biometric recognition system based on class specific liner discriminant to client specific dis...

Human identification by gait has created a great deal of interest in computer vision community due to its advantage of inconspicuous recognition at a relatively far distance. Biometric systems are becoming increasingly important, since they provide more reliable and efficient means of identity verification. Biometric gait Analysis (i.e. recognizing people from the way they walk) is one of the r...

We introduce a new way for generating strong keys from biometric data. Contrary to popular belief, this leads us to biometric keys which are easy to obtain and renew. Our solution is based on two-factor authentication: a low-cost card and a biometric trait are involved. Following the Boneh and Shacham group signature construction, we introduce a new biometric-based remote authentication scheme....

The domain of biometrics lacks of a systematical approach for classifying biometric signatures for biometric authentication, detection, and reaction systems. This paper presents a first approach to fill this gap. Outlining the general authentication process and analyzing the meaning of the term signature from selected sciences, a definition of the term biometric signature as (bin|n-)ary coded r...

Performances of biometric recognition systems can degrade quickly when the input biometric traits exhibit substantial variations compared to the templates collected during the enrolment stage of users. This issue can be addressed using template update methods. In this paper, a novel template update method based on the concept of biometric co-training is presented. In multimodal biometric system...

To improve the information authentication and network security one of the effective authentication mechanism is Biometric authentication System. But when this authentication system is a offline authentication system, in such case, it is required to secure this authentication information. In this work, a biometric watermarking based authentication system is defined to secure the authentication s...
