The deployment of biometric systems could have serious life long implications for the privacy and data protection rights of individuals. The use of appropriate biometric technologies permitting the creation of multiple trusted revocable protected biometric identities may present a response to this challenge. The paper presents a review from a legal perspective of these privacy enhancing technol...

Biometric systems are getting popularity since last decade. As per the demand of IT industry, this technology is satisfying authentication and authorization needs. But Unimodal Biometric systems have their own limitations. To overcome the limitations of Unimodal Biometric Systems, we can choose the approach of Multimodal Biometric Systems. In this paper, researchers have given details about Mul...

The PIN based single level authorization of Mobile Payment System suffers several security leakage problems. Integrating biometric identifier as one more level of authorization increases the robustness of the payment system. But as mobile device and wireless network has certain constraint, so it is not possible to use any biometric identifier for authentication. This paper presents a comparativ...

Biometric cryptosystem provides a seamless connection between the biometrics and traditional password, and it represents a new development in the next generation cryptography. Even if the biometric cryptosystem is secure in algorithmic design, it may still be vulnerable to side-channel attack due to the physical leakage. To assess the possible side-channel attack on biometric cryptosystem, a se...

This paper discusses the impact of human interaction with biometric devices and its relationship to biometric performance. The authors propose a model outlining the Human-Biometric Sensor Interaction and discuss its necessity through case studies in fingerprint recognition, hand geometry, and dynamic signature verification to further understand the human-sensor interaction issues and underlying...

The practice of using more than one biometric modality, sample, sensor, or algorithm to achieve recognition, commonly referred to as multi-biometrics, is a technique that is rapidly gaining popularity. By incorporating multi-biometrics into the recognition process, many of the short-comings of traditional single-biometric systems can be alleviated and overall recognition accuracy can be improve...

Previous experiments investigating ERP correlates of anticipatory attention shifts triggered by central symbolic cues have identified a contralateral "early directing attention negativity," which was assumed to be generated by processes involved in the control of spatial orienting. Here we demonstrate that this component is not directly linked to the control of attentional shifts, but instead r...

This report is intended to provide an understanding of the benefits and limitations of biometric-based technologies. It also includes information on existing privacy and security methodologies for assessing biometrics. It has been revised to take into account comments received from delegates following the October 2003 WPISP meeting in Oslo. The report has also been updated in a few areas. The r...

Biometric authentication system automatically identifies or verifies a person using physical, biological, and behavioral characteristics such as face, iris, fingerprints, hand geometry or voice. Compared to the traditional identification and verification methods (ID, card, password), biometrics is more convenient for users, can reduce fraud, and is more secure. In the past decade, biometric bec...

Privacy Protecting Biometric Authentication Systems As biometrics gains popularity and proliferates into the daily life, there is an increased concern over the loss of privacy and potential misuse of biometric data held in central repositories. The major concerns are about i) the use of biometrics to track people, ii) non-revocability of biometrics (eg. if a fingerprint is compromised it can no...
