Biometrics is a process of identifying a person by their unique and measurable human characteristics. A person’s biometric characteristic can be the size and shape of a hand, the ridge and valley pattern of a fingerprint, the frequency of voice or iris characteristics of the eye. No longer are these devices found only in James Bond movies and Star Trek reruns. They are used on the front door of...

This work describes an automated fingerprint authentication system fusing two different technologies viz. embedded and biometrics accessible to the persons who are authorized by the officials using bio-metric identification of finger print. The system operates in both online and offline mode. The fingerprint reader is an optical reader that captures the difference between valleys and ridges. Sy...

Increasing the level of security in critical or "high-value" buildings is becoming a great concern in today's increasingly security aware society. Building access control represents an important tool for enhancing security by reducing the likelihood that malicious persons can even enter a critical structure. Existing access control solutions rely on key cards as a mechanism for identifying one ...

Continuous authentication is mainly associated with the use of biometrics to guarantee that a resource is being accessed by the same user throughout the usage period. Wireless devices can also serve as a supporting technology for continuous authentication or even as a complete alternative to biometrics when accessing proximity-based services. In this paper we present the implementation of a sec...

Building access control represents an important application for biometric verification but often requires greater accuracy than can be provided by a single verifier. Even as algorithms continue to improve, poor samples and environmental factors will continue to impact performance in the building environment. We aim to improve verification accuracy by combining decisions from multiple verifiers ...

Biometric identification technology is being applied to physical and information access control in some workplace with the improvements in the accuracy of biometric devices and declining price. This paper describes a multimodal biometric identification system for time and attendance application called AVAS (Audio-Visual Attendance System). This system takes users’ voice and face characteristics...

I. BASIC ARCHITECTURE The topic of this paper is a low-cost and self contained biometric verification device, devoted to physical or data access control. Because of its modularity, various means of biometric verification, as fingerprint, voice, handwritten signature, may be comblned by simply plugging in special-purpose cards and sensors. By combination, it is possible to increase the degree of...
