Usability measure user preferences and performance of interaction with a system. Criteria for usability evaluation vary system to system depending upon the selection among wide variety of usability parameters. To enhance the acceptability of biometric based identification among large population usability evaluation of HumanBiometrics Sensor Interaction (HBSI) is highly important. This paper pro...

Biometric use physiological traits such as fingerprints, face and behavioral traits such as voice, hand signatures characteristics to verify an individual’s identity. The two process involved in biometrics are verification and identification. Verification process is performed by matching an individual’s biometric with the template of claimed identity only. The identification process performed b...

Electioneering processes, particularly in the developing world has been marred by electoral frauds such as ballot snatching, multiple voting and other vices. The situation is compounded by the use of paper-based voter registration and voting systems. Although, there are already tendencies towards the adoption of electronic voting in some developing countries, they are still at rudimentary stage...

What would be the ideal attributes of a client-server authentication scheme? One might like an identity based scheme not requiring PKI, plus support for multi-factor authentication based on a token, a PIN number, and optionally a biometric. The former might hold a high-entropy secret, and the latter may be represented as relatively lowentropy parameters. However it would be preferred if the tok...

In a modern, civilized and advanced society, reliable authentication and authorization of individuals are becoming more essential tasks in several aspects of daily activities and as well as many different important applications such as in financial transactions, access control, travel and immigration, healthcare etc. In some situations, when individual equipment is required for confirmation of ...

In the recent past, different researchers have proposed privacy-enhancing face recognition systems designed to conceal soft-biometric attributes at feature level. These works reported impressive results, but generally did not consider specific attacks in their analysis of privacy protection. We introduce an attack on said schemes based two observations: (1) highly similar facial representations...

Biometrics is the field of technology devoted to verification or authentication of individuals using biological traits. A biometric authentication system verifies the identity of a claimant based on the person’s physical attributes, such as voice, face, or fingerprints. Its application areas include security applications, forensic work, law enforcement applications, and so on. Here we have divi...

Ears have been used to identify people since the early 1900s. The first example of ears being used to recognize humans was when Iannarelli, an American police officer, used ear measurements to keep track of prisoners. His work lead to the creation of the discipline called biometrics. Biometric systems can be used to confirm an individual’s identity by comparing a sample physical feature to a pr...

Face and signature are still two most dominant authentication modes in banking, legal documents, or personnel records in spite availability of more robust biometric modes. Hence, it is imperative to develop low-cost and reliable automated face recognition and signature verification system. Therefore, this paper presents our work in development of a two-in-one portable low-cost dsPIC30F3013 digi...
