Access control systems using biometric identification readers are becoming common within critical infrastructure and other high security applications. There is a perception that biometric, due to their ability to identify and validate the user, are more secure. However, biometric systems are vulnerable to many categories of attack vectors and there has been restricted research into such defeat ...

Biometrics based personal identification is regarded as an effective method for automatically recognizing a person’s identity with confidence. A multimodal biometric system consolidates the evidence presented by multiple biometric sources and typically better recognition performance compare to systems based on a single biometric modality. This paper proposes a novel multipartite algorithm for s...

This thesis focuses on the biometric traceability of wood logs. Biometric log traceability is at an early stage and present research treats traceability in the sawmill. State-of-the-art systems use Radio Frequency Identi cation (RFID) or plastic batches to reach log traceability from forest site to further processing companies. This work is a preliminary study on biometric log traceability usin...

Some biometric algorithms lack of the problem of using a great number of features, which were extracted from the raw data. This often results in feature vectors of high dimensionality and thus high computational complexity. However, in many cases subsets of features do not contribute or with only little impact to the correct classification of biometric algorithms. The process of choosing more d...

Iris recognition is gaining popularity as a robust and reliable biometric technology. The intricate structure of the iris constitutes a powerful biometric modality utilized by iris recognition algorithms to extract biometric templates. Proposed approaches report recognition rates above 99% and equal error rates less than 1% on diverse data sets. Providing high accuracy iris recognition appears ...

original article   to determine the association between ocular biometric components and near work in bank employees.this study was conducted as an analytical cross-sectional study. a group of bank employees and a control group were randomly selected. after applying the inclusion criteria, all selected subjects had a set of examinations including refraction, uncorrected and corrected visual acui...

-Security is a major issue in Automated Teller Machine (ATM).with the wide spread utilization of electronic transactions it is necessary to increase customers recognition accuracy. Biometric systems can offer convenient and secure mode of authentication to the customers. This paper proposes a survey of how multimodal biometric system enhances level of security in ATM system. Multimodal biometri...

The PIN based single level authorization of Mobile Payment System suffers several security leakage problems. Integrating biometric identifier as one more level of authorization increases the robustness of the payment system. But as mobile device and wireless network has certain constraint, so it is not possible to use any biometric identifier for authentication. This paper presents a comparativ...
