Recently, biometric market is growing rapidly and biometric applications can be found in diverse areas such as border control, banking, ID-documents, access control, etc. However, usage of personal biometric information can harm privacy of users and raise problems of cross matching and identity theft. Privacy preserving techniques like template protection are an important supplement to biometri...

— the goal of this project is to bring together and integrates the work of the laboratory team members in order to get a practical realization of an Intelligent Multimodal Biometric Identification System. This last exploits the vocal and visual properties of a person to carry out, her or his, identification. To improve classification performance, the system will have a virtual character module ...

The confidence level of citizens, as far as the ability of the organizers to provide security is concerned, is a factor directly impacting their attendance in athletic events. This paper, proposes a system called BioAthletics that implements strong access control, enhancing the safety feeling of event spectators. BioAthletics integrates intelligent biometric access control systems and smart car...

Biometrics such as fingerprints, irises, faces, voice, gait and hands are often used for access control, authentication and encryption instead of PIN and passwords. In this paper a syndrome decoding technique is proposed to provide a secure means of storing and matching various biometrics data. We apply an algebraic coding technique called coset decomposition to the model of fingerprint biometr...

ePassports are biometric identification documents that contain RFID Tags and are primarily used for border security. The embedded RFID Tags are capable of storing data, performing low cost computations and cryptography, and communicating wirelessly. Since 2004, we have witnessed the development and widespread deployment of three generations of electronic passports The ICAO First Generation ePas...

The first generation e-passport standard is proven to be insecure and prone to various attacks. To strengthen, the European Union (EU) has proposed an Extended Access Control (EAC) mechanism for e-passports that intends to provide better security in protecting biometric information of the e-passport bearer. But, our analysis shows, the EU proposal fails to address many security and privacy issu...

OVERVIEW: Door-access control is a physical security system that assures the security of a room or building by means of limiting the access to that room or building to specific people and by keeping records of such accesses. It utilizes an individual-authentication method in order to limit access to specific people. The most widespread authentication method for such systems is based on smart ca...
