In security-related systems, such as access control authentication is extremely important. There are several ways to carry out this crucial activity, but biometrics currently attracting more attention. After realizing the usefulness of biometrics, security systems use them for one two fundamental functions: user identification or verification. Multiple exist, and various require biometrics. As ...

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...

Biometrics play an increasingly important role in the context of access control techniques as they promise to overcome the problems of forgotten passwords or passwords that can be guessed easily. In this paper we introduce and provide a formal definition of the notion of secret locking which generalizes a previously introduced concept for cryptographic key extraction from biometrics. We give de...

An accurate automatic personal identiication is critical to a wide range of application domains such as access control, electronic commerce, and welfare beneets disbursement. Traditional personal identiication methods (e.g., passwords, PIN) suuer from a number of drawbacks and are unable to satisfy the security requirement of our highly interconnected information society. Biometrics refers to a...

Providing banking services, especially online banking and electronic payment systems, has always been associated with high concerns about security risks. In this paper, customer authentication for their transactions in electronic banking has been discussed, and a more appropriate way of using biometric fingerprint data, as well as encrypting those data in a different way, has been suggest...

Biometrics is gaining strong support for the personalization of and the securing of mobile devices. It is not uncommon for individual users to be faced with a half-dozen or more passwords and personal identification numbers. The ubiquity of passwords actually relaxes system security since many users tend to use the same password across all applications, or collect the various passwords in a sin...

Authentication based on biometrics is being applied to control physical access to high-security facilities. Recently, with the recent rapid growth of information system technologies, applications for accessing databases or business workflow systems have begun to use biometrics such as hand geometry, palm, iris, fingerprint etc. As the integrity of data is important, We have to guarantee the int...

1 Abstract Authentication based on biometrics is being applied to control physical access to high-security facilities. Recently, with the recent rapid growth of information system technologies, applications for accessing databases or business workflow systems have begun to use biometrics. These applications need to implement measures to counter threats to security. In the case of authentication...

Biometrics-based personal identification attempts to answer the questions ‘‘Who are you?’’ and ‘‘Are you who you claim to be?’’ Personal identification, regardless of method, is ubiquitous in our daily lives. For example, we often have to prove our identity to gain access to a bank account, to enter a protected site, to draw cash from an ATM, to log in to a computer, to claim welfare benefits, ...
