Biometric authentication is a promising approach to access control in consumer mobile devices. Most current mobile biometric authentication techniques, however, authenticate people based on a single biometric modality (e.g., iPhone 6 uses only fingerprints), which limits resistance to trait spoofing attacks and ability to accurately identify users under uncontrolled conditions in which mobile d...

Biometrics is gaining strong support for the personalization of and the securing of mobile devices. It is not uncommon for individual users to be faced with a half-dozen or more passwords and personal identification numbers. The ubiquity of passwords actually relaxes system security since many users tend to use the same password across all applications, or collect the various passwords in a sin...

This paper presents a method for verifying the identity of a mobile device user in real time by capturing an image of the user’s palm with a mobile camera. A consistent region of interest is extracted from the center of the palm using a method that is robust to orientation, scale, and lighting. A set of directional line filters then detects the stable palm lines from this region, and the result...

Numerous studies in the literature have already shown potential of biometrics on mobile devices for authentication purposes. However, it has been that, learning processes associated to biometric systems might expose sensitive personal information about subjects. This study proposes GaitPrivacyON, a novel gait verification approach that provides accurate results while preserving subject. It comp...

With the increased popularity of smartphones, various security threats and privacy leakages targeting them are discovered and investigated. In this work, we present SilentSense, a framework to authenticate users silently and transparently by exploiting dynamics mined from the user touch behavior biometrics and the micro-movement of the device caused by user’s screen-touch actions. We build a “t...

This paper argues that biometrics have been re-framed in ways that decouple them from the discourse of balancing liberty and security with profound implications for the exercise of democratically legitimated power at a time when the transformative impact of ICTs on governance and society is obscured by the pace of change and accelerating mobile forensic applications and policy intent. It questi...

Biometrics attracts attention since person authentication becomes very important in networked society. As the biometrics, the fingerprint, iris, face, ear, vein, gate, voice and signature are well known and are used in various applications (Jain et al., 1999; James et al., 2005). Especially, assuming mobile access using a portable terminal such as a personal digital assistant (PDA), a camera, m...

The next generation of banking applications won’t be on desktop or mainframes but on the small devices we carry every day. In this project authors have focused on, how biometric mechanism provides the highest security to the mobile payment. Secured e banking on the mobile is the latest issue for all mobile users. The present security issues surround the loss of personal information through the ...
