Entropy of Audio Fingerprints for Unobtrusive Device Authentication
نویسندگان
چکیده
Context-based authentication methods enable the unobtrusive establishment of authentication or even secure keys. While several context-based authentication methods have been proposed recently, often the entropy of the seed for the cryptographic keys is not exploited. We study the entropy of audio fingerprints which can be utilized to pair devices in close proximity. In this work, for 600 audio fingerprints from five distinct audio classes recorded at three different locations, we applied 7490 statistical tests from the dieHarder battery of statistical tests.

We present an implementation of AdhocPairing, an audiobased secure pairing application for Android mobile devices. The application implements recent advances in audio-based pairing utilising Fuzzy cryptography. In particular, it generates audio fingerprints from ambient audio of weakly synchronised devices and extracts identical, arbitrary length secure binary keys. Synchronisation in audio sam...

Biometric authentication is an emerging technology that utilize biometric data for the purpose of person identification or recognition in security applications. A number of biometrics can be used in a person authentication system. Among the widely used biometrics, voice and face traits are most promising for pervasive application in every life, because they can be easily obtained using unobtrus...
متن کاملPINtext: A Framework for Secure Communication Based on Context
We propose a framework for secure device-pairing based on contextual information. In contrast to related work, we utilise fuzzy cryptography schemes to establish a common secret among devices and to account for noise in the contextual features. The framework is implemented for ambient audio and its feasibility is demonstrated in a case study. Additionally, we discuss properties of fingerprints ...
متن کاملEntropy of Fingerprints
The inherent differences between secret-based authentication (such as passwords and PINs) and biometric authentication have left gaps in the credibility of biometrics. These gaps are due, in large part, to the inability to adequately cross-compare the two types of authentication. This paper provides a comparison between the two types of authentication by equating biometric entropy in the same w...
متن کاملGaussian Mixture Modeling Using Short Time Fourier Transform Features for Audio Fingerprinting
In Audio fingerprinting, a song must be recognized by matching an extracted fingerprint to a database of previously computed fingerprints. One of the key issues in fingerprinting is the generation of fingerprints that provide discrimination among different songs and at the same time invariant to the distorted versions of the same song. In this paper, we evaluate various features such as spectra...
