Biometric User Authentication on Smart Cards by Means of Handwritten Signatures
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a biometric method for user authentication on smart cards. Smart cards are chip cards with the ability for data processing directly on the card. They are not only usable for storing biometric reference data, but biometric user authentication methods can also be performed on card in order to protect security-relevant functions or data on the cards. The biometric data under consideration are handwritten signatures captured by means of a graphic tablet and a special pen. The feature-matching algorithm is a variant of dynamic time warping, taking the limited resources of smart cards into account. It is implemented as an operating prototype on two types of smart cards.

Supplemental Biometric User Authentication for Digital-Signature Smart Cards
This paper specifies how biometric verification methods can be applied in addition to PIN verification on digital-signature smart cards in compliance with established smart-card standards. After successful PIN verification, multiple digital signatures can be created; each signature creation, however, is preceded by biometric verification.

متن کاملBiometric Based User Authentication Using Smart Card
Remote user authentication is one of the major issues in the rapid growing internet era. In this paper we propose a biometric based remote user authentication scheme using smart cards. The existing methods failed to be safe in remote user authentication as the secret values in either end of the communication could be guessed by the intruder. In our scheme we introduce an addition security at th...

The author first reviews the recently proposed Li-Hwang’s biometric-based remote user authentication scheme using smart cards; then shows that the Li-Hwang’s scheme has some design flaws in their scheme. In order to withstand those flaws in their scheme, an improvement of their scheme is further proposed. The author also shows that the improved scheme provides strong authentication with the use...
متن کاملA Biometric Based E-security System for Internet-based Applications
-Personal identification numbers (PIN), passwords, smart cards and digital certificates are some of the means employed for user authentication in various electronic commerce applications. However, these means do not really identify a person, but only knowledge of some data or belonging of some determined object. This paper introduces the notion of Biometric Signature: a new approach to integrat...
