Over the past two decades, biometric recognition has exploded into a plethora of different applications around globe. This proliferation can be attributed to high levels authentication accuracy and user convenience that systems afford end-users. However, in-spite success systems, there are number outstanding problems concerns pertaining various sub-modules create an element mistrust in their us...

Threats to information security are proliferating rapidly, placing demanding requirements on protecting tangible and intangible business and individual assets. Biometrics can improve security by replacing or complementing traditional security technologies. This tutorial discusses the strengths and weaknesses of biometrics and traditional security approaches, current and future applications of b...

Biometric recognition, or simply biometrics, refers to automated recognition of individuals based on their behavioural and biological characteristics. The success of fingerprints in forensic science and law enforcement applications, coupled with growing concerns related to border control, financial fraud and cyber security, has generated a huge interest in using fingerprints, as well as other b...

Biometrics have a long-held hope of replacing passwords by establishing a non-repudiated identity and providing authentication with convenience. Convenience drives consumers toward biometrics-based access management solutions. Unlike passwords, biometrics cannot be script-injected; however, biometric data is considered highly sensitive due to its personal nature and unique association with user...

This article is an overview of a current multimodal biometrics research based on fingerprint and palm-print. It explains the pervious study for each modal separately and its fusion technique with another biometric modal. The basic biometric system consists of four stages: firstly, the sensor which is used for enrolment & recognition the biometrics data. Secondly, the pre-processing stage which ...

Biometric technologies are used to analyse human characteristics for security purposes. The most common physical biometrics patterns analyzed for security purposes are the fingerprint, hand, eye, face and voice. The advantages of using biometrics to verify a person’s identity over using passwords or token have been broadly presented in many research papers. However recent research has revealed ...

Biometrics identification methods proved to be very efficient, more natural and easy for users than traditional methods of human identification. In fact, only biometrics methods truly identify humans, not keys and cards they posses or passwords they should remember. The future of biometrics leads to passive physiological methods based on images of such parts of human body as face and ear. The a...

This work categorizes and reviews behavioral biometrics with the inclusion of future-oriented techniques. A general introduction to this field is given alongside the benefits of this non-intrusive approach. It presents the examination and analysis of the current research in the field and the different types of behavior-centric features. Accuracy rates for verifying users with different behavior...
