Usable Biometrics

چکیده
The term biometrics is derived from the Greek bio (life) and metric (measure). Biometrics, as a means of identification, can be traced back to both ancient Egypt1 and China. Pioneering work on modern biometrics technologies dates back to the late 1960s, when researchers began looking at voice patterns, fingerprints, and hand geometry as a means for establishing unique individual identity. By the mid-1980s, the biometrics industry was established and the first systems went live in controlled environments. In recent years, with the heightened security concerns gripping much of the world and the rising amount of fraud in the commercial sector, biometrics technologies have received a great deal of attention. However, the application of biometrics spans all industries.

Analysing Soft Clothing Biometrics for Retrieval
Soft biometrics continues to attract research interest. Traditional body and face soft biometrics have been the main research focus and have been proven, by many researchers, to be usable for identification and retrieval. Also, soft biometrics have been shown to provide several advantages over classic biometrics, such as invariance to illumination and contrast. Other than body and face, little ...
متن کاملDominant Set Approach to ECG Biometrics
Electrocardiographic (ECG) signals are emerging as a recent trend in the field of biometrics. In this paper, we propose a novel ECG biometric system that combines clustering and classification methodologies. Our approach is based on dominant-set clustering, and provides a framework for outlier removal and template selection. It enhances the typical workflows, by making them better suited to new...
متن کاملEnsuring Privacy of Biometric Factors in Multi-Factor Authentication Systems
One of the inherent properties of biometrics is the ability to use unique features for identification and verification of users. The usable biometric features in humans are limited in number and they must be kept secret; if a biometric factor is compromised it presents a challenge that may defy solution. In this paper we present a novel method to preserve privacy of users’ biometrics. Using an ...
متن کاملIs Your Inseam a Biometric? A Case Study on the Role of Usability Studies in Developing Public Policy
In this paper, we present a case study of applying usable privacy methodologies to inform debate regarding a multistakeholder public policy decision. In particular, the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) relied on a multi-stakeholder process to define a set of categories for short-form privacy notices on mobile devices. These notices are intended for use in a Unit...
متن کاملFacial Attributes: Accuracy and Adversarial Robustness
Facial attributes, emerging soft biometrics, must be automatically and reliably extracted from images in order to be usable in stand-alone systems. While recent methods extract facial attributes using deep neural networks (DNNs) trained on labeled facial attribute data, the robustness of deep attribute representations has not been evaluated. In this paper, we examine the representational stabil...
