Secure Continuous Biometric-Enhanced Authentication (CMU-CS-00-134)

چکیده
Biometrics have the potential to solidify person-authentication by examining \unforgeable" features of individuals. This paper explores issues involved with e ective integration of biometric-enhanced authentication into computer systems and design options for addressing them. Because biometrics are not secrets, systems must not use them like passwords; otherwise, biometric-based authentication will reduce security rather than increase it. A novel biometric-enhanced authentication system, based on a trusted camera that continuously uses face recognition to verify identity, is described and evaluated in the context of Linux. With cryptographically-signed messages and continuous authentication, the diÆculty of bypassing desktop authentication can be signi cantly increased.

متن کاملCompressive Sensing Based Multiple Watermarking Technique for Biometric Template Protection
Biometric authentication system is having several security issues. Two security issues are template protection at system database and at communication channel between system database and matcher subsystem of biometric system. In this paper, two level watermarking technique based on CS Theory framework in wavelet domain is proposed for security and authentication of biometric template at these t...
متن کاملCapacity and Examples of Template-Protecting Biometric Authentication Systems
In this paper, we formulate the requirements for privacy protecting biometric authentication systems. The secrecy capacity Cs is investigated for the discrete and the continuous case. We present, furthermore, a general algorithm that meets the requirements and achieves Cs as well as Cid (the identification capacity). Finally, we present some practical constructions of the general algorithm and ...
متن کاملThe Biometric Daemon: A Public Perspective
Information privacy is maintained through authentication—the act of proving to a system that you are who you say you are. Unfortunately, current authentication methods are affected by a range of usability problems that impact significantly on the security of people’s data and access to secure systems. Recently, an experience-oriented security device, the Biometric Daemon, has been proposed whic...
متن کاملContinuous user authentication using multi-modal biometrics
As modern mobile devices increase in their capability and accessibility, they introduce additional demands in terms of security e particularly authentication. With the widely documented poor use of PINs, Active Authentication is designed to overcome the fundamental issue of usable and secure authentication through utilizing biometric-based techniques to continuously verify user identity. This p...
