Biometric Authentication for Mobile Devices
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mobile devices have found an important place in modern society, with hundreds of millions currently in use. The majority of these use inherently weak authentication mechanisms, based upon passwords and PINs, which can potentially be compromised and thereby allow attackers access to the device and its stored data. A need for stronger authentication is identified and the discussion considers the application of various biometrics to a mobile platform. The feasibility of one such approach, that of keystroke dynamics, is examined, revealing promising results – with individual performances of 0% false rejection rate and 1.3% false acceptance rate being observed. However, higher overall error rates of 15% lead to the proposal of a hybrid, non-intrusive approach to authentication.

Template Protection for Biometric Gait Data
Biometric gait recognition is a well suited method for authentication on mobile devices as it is unobtrusive and concurrent. Hence, in contrast to PIN authentication it is no extra-effort for the user. The characteristic gait of a subject can be recorded using accelerometers which are nowadays already contained in many mobile devices. From this data biometric feature vectors can be extracted an...
متن کاملQuality-Based Score-level Fusion for Secure and Robust Multimodal Biometrics-based Authentication on Consumer Mobile Devices
Biometric authentication is a promising approach to access control in consumer mobile devices. Most current mobile biometric authentication techniques, however, authenticate people based on a single biometric modality (e.g., iPhone 6 uses only fingerprints), which limits resistance to trait spoofing attacks and ability to accurately identify users under uncontrolled conditions in which mobile d...
متن کاملAuthentication of biometric identification documents via mobile devices
In this paper, we consider the problem of authentication of biometric identification documents via mobile devices such as mobile phones or PDAs. We assume that the biometric identification document holds biometric data (e.g., face or fingerprint) in the form of an image and personal data in the form of text, both being printed directly onto the identification document. The proposed solution mak...

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...
متن کاملMulti-modal Behavioural Biometric Authentication for Mobile Devices
The potential advantages of behavioural biometrics are that they can be utilised in a transparent (non-intrusive) and continuous authentication system. However, individual biometric techniques are not suited to all users and scenarios. One way to increase the reliability of transparent and continuous authentication systems is create a multi-modal behavioural biometric authentication system. Thi...
متن کاملUsing Mobile Agents for Secure Biometric Authentication
This paper deals with the definition of a strong authentication model, coupling usual password/PIN based methods with a biometric matching, over a Multi Agent distributed infrastructure. When the user authentication procedure involves personal devices, the Multi Agent System model helps in the distribution of data and algorithms thanks to a better partitioning of roles and responsibilities, enh...
