The conventional techniques and algorithms employed by forensic scientists to assist in the identification of individuals on the basis of their respective Deoxyribonucleic acid base(DNA) pair profiles involves more computational steps and mathematical formulas that leads to more complexity. DNA identification is not considered by many as a biometric recognition technology, mainly because it is ...

The present study investigated basic statistics for biometric traits as well as non-genetic factors that may affect these traits in the Moghani breed of sheep. The data-set was computed by using biometric records of the Moghani sheep breeding and raising station over a period of 15 years (1996 to 2012). Year of birth, month of birth, birth type and lamb's sex and dam permanent environment were ...

Conventional computer systems authenticate users only at the initial log-in session, which can be the cause of a critical security flaw. To resolve this problem, systems need continuous user authentication methods that continuously monitor and authenticate users based on some biometric trait(s). We propose a new method for continuous user authentication based on a Webcam that monitors a logged ...

Extracellular matrix proteins have been implicated in protein remodelling of the sclera in refractive error. The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) falling into the collagenase (MMP1, MMP8, MMP13), gelatinase (MMP2, MMP9) and stromelysin (MMP3, MMP10, MMP11) functional groups are particularly important. We wished to assess their association with myopia, refractive error and ocular biometric measu...

Keystroke dynamics is a well-investigated behavioral biometric based on the way and rhythm in which someone interacts with a keyboard or keypad when typing characters. This paper explores the potential of this modality but for touchscreenequipped smartphones. The main research question posed is whether “touchstroking” can be effective in building the biometric profile of a user, in terms of typ...

Widespread use of biometric architectures implies the need to secure highly sensitive data to respect the privacy rights of the users. In this paper, we discuss the following question: To what extent can biometric designs be characterized as Privacy Enhancing Technologies? The terms of privacy and security for biometric schemes are defined, while current regulations for the protection of biomet...

Biometric systems allow automatic person recognition based on physical or behavioral features which belong to a certain person. Each biometric feature has its limits and no biometric system is perfect so unimodal biometric systems raise a variety of problems. To over fulfilling some of the mentioned inconvenient and limitations and to increase the level of security the multimodal biometric syst...

This paper focuses on a biometric signature based system as a novel tool for enhancing security in networks. The novel authentication approach takes into consideration a standardized database for analysis. Biometric perception is considered to be the most neoteric technology for sustaining security in various systems by involving exclusive identification features. The attainment of biometric pe...

Biometric systems play an important role in authenticating the identity of an individual. Such authenticated systems are still prone to attacks and securing them is an important issue. To overcome this, biometric based authentication is blended with cryptography resulting in a framework called fuzzy vault which provides a high level of security. Fuzzy vault is a biometric cryptosystem used for ...

The problem of mixing, swapping and abduction is a very serious and challenging issue throughout the world. Traditional methods of biometric and non biometric techniques have their own limitations and fail to provide required level of security for newborn. A multimodal biometric system integrates information from multiple biometric sources to compensate for the limitations in performance of eac...
