In biometric authentication protocols, a user is authenticated or granted access to a service if her fresh biometric trait matches the reference biometric template stored on the service provider. This matching process is usually based on a suitable distance which measures the similarities between the two biometric templates. In this paper, we prove that, when the matching process is performed u...

This paper describes the signature as a one of the most robust and widely used trait in biometric verification. The signature is also known as behavioral biometric property. We present comparative analysis of offline signature recognition based on Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) and Maximally Stable Extremely Regions (MSER). The MSER system reported accuracy of 95. 371% where FAR is 5. 25% and FRR i...

Multimodal biometric plays a significant role in human identification, which overcomes the issues of unimodal biometric system. The proposed approach is based on fusion of two unique traits, ear and iris and to study their performances. The features of both traits are extracted using common method, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) technique mainly for dimensionality reduction without informat...

Today biometric techniques are based either on passive (e.g. IrisScan, Face) or active methods (e.g. voice and handwriting). In our work we focus on evaluation of the latter. These methods, also described as behavioral Biometric, are characterized by a trait that is learnt and acquired over time. Several approaches for user authentication have been published, but today they have not yet been ev...

Recent research has shown the possibility of using smartphones’ sensors and accessories to extract some behavioral attributes such as touch dynamics, keystroke dynamics and gait recognition. These attributes are known as behavioral biometrics and could be used to verify or identify users implicitly and continuously on smartphones. The authentication systems that have been built based on these b...

Biometric authentication of a person is highly challenging and complex problem. Face and gait identifications in video have received significant attention. Consequently, their identification problems have challenges due to their large varying appearances and high complex pattern distributions. However, the complementary properties of these two biometrics suggest fusion of them. Face identificat...

Different biometric traits such as face appearance and heartbeat signal from Electrocardiogram (ECG)/Phonocardiogram (PCG) are widely used in the human identity recognition. Recent advances in facial video based measurement of cardio-physiological parameters such as heartbeat rate, respiratory rate, and blood volume pressure provide the possibility of extracting heartbeat signal from facial vid...

Recognition of newborn after birth is a critical issue for hospitals, maternity word and other places where multiple birthstake place. Switching and abduction of newborn is a global challenge and research done to meet this challenge is minimal. Most of the biometric systems developed are for adults and very few of them address the issue of newborn identification.The ear of newborn is a perfect ...

Abstract – Biometric as the science of recognizing an individual based on his or her physical or behavioral traits, it is beginning to gain acceptance as a legitimate method for determining an individual identity. Biometric have now been deployed in various commercial, civilian, and national security applications. Biometric described overview of various biometric techniques and the need to be a...

A biometric system is a secured recognition system that is used for the establishment of the personal identification of the individuals using their biometrics which are unique features and make the system more authentic. Our aim, here is to build such a system which gives more accurate confirmation of the individual identities. In this paper, we have used one biometric trait i.e. fingerprint fo...
