Biometric authentication systems operating in real world environments using a single modality are found to be insecure and unreliable due to numerous limitations. Multimodal biometric systems have better accuracy and reliability due to the use of multiple biometric traits to authenticate a claimed identity or perform identification. In this paper a novel method for person identification using m...

The task of this paper is to introduce a new lightweight identification protocol based on biometric data and elliptic curves. In fact, we combine biometric data and asymetric cryptography, namely elliptic curves and standard tools to design a multifactor identification protocol. Our scheme is light, very fast, secure and robust against all the known attacks on identification protocol. Therefore...

Biometric systems refer to biometric technologies which can be used to achieve authentication. Unlike cryptography-based technologies, the ratio for certification in biometric systems needs not to achieve 100% accuracy. However, biometric data can only be directly compared through proximal access to the scanning device and cannot be combined with cryptographic techniques. Moreover, repeated use...

Biometric forms of authentication are becoming increasingly popular in mobile devices. Passwords and PINs are being replaced by this convenient and more secure form of identification. Although biometric forms of identification provide a higher level of security, hacking and spoofing techniques are also becoming more sophisticated. There are anti-spoofing technologies that can help defend agains...

Recently, a new biometric technology based on human finger-vein patterns has attracted the attention of biometrics-based identification research community. Compared with other traditional biometric characteristics (such as face, iris, fingerprint, etc.), finger vein exhibits some excellent advantages in application. For instance, apart from uniqueness, universality, permanence and measurability...

iometric systems are mostly used as person identification or verification systems. In the last few decades, the Electrocardiogram (ECG) has been introduced as a most powerful biometric tool for personal/individual identification. ECG has unique cardiac feature to each individual which motivated its use in various identification systems. Recent developments have also shown that person identifica...

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

--Biometric identification systems can be attacked at many vulnerable points. One of the vulnerable point is biometric database. Biometric authentication system can be easily spoofed by applying stolen protected template at matcher sub-system of biometric identification systems . This type of malicious manipulation is termed as replay attack. We propose a visual cryptography based technique whi...

Biometric technologies are automated methods of verifying or recognizing. This work is particularly targeted towards the SURF,HARRIS and MSER calculations for biometric fingerprint calculations .These three features are used parallel to get the better identification results, FAR is proved 0 with the three algorithms and FRR is 1 with the same i.e. SURF, HARRIS and MSER and matching the maximum ...

Are security issues about biometric authentication, which must be taken into consid. Paper presents security concerns about biometric authentication and its.of studying biometric authentication systems and their security. Our research on security and reliability issues related to biometric authentication started in 1999. Http:www.ecom-monitor.compapersbiometricsTR2000.pdf.Please help improve it...
