The paper presents a multimodal approach for biometric authentication, based on multiple classifiers. The proposed solution uses a post-classification biometric fusion method in which the biometric data classifiers outputs are combined in order to improve the overall biometric system performance by decreasing the classification error rates. The paper shows also the biometric recognition task im...

Imagine that you get such certain awesome experience and knowledge by only reading a book. How can? It seems to be greater when a book can be the best thing to discover. Books now will appear in printed and soft file collection. One of them is this book advances in biometric person authentication international workshop on biometric recognition systems iwbrs 2005 beijing china october 22 23 2005...

Biometric Encryption (BE) is a group of emerging technologies that securely bind a digital key to a biometric or generate a digital key from the biometric, so that no biometric image or template is stored.What is stored is the BE template otherwise known as a ‘‘bio-metrically encrypted key’’ or ‘‘helper data.’’ As a result, neither the digital key nor the biometric can be retrieved from the sto...

Now a days Security of computer science and information technology is an important issue. Authentication and identification are related to the security. The traditional methods for confirming person identity involve use of ATM, Pins, and Password which can be lost or stolen. So it is needed to have a system which provide security and overcome the limitations of traditional methods. A biometric ...

Wide usage of biometric information for person identity verification purposes, terrorist acts prevention measures and authentication process simplification in computer systems has raised significant attention to reliability and efficiency of biometric systems. Modern biometric systems still face many reliability and efficiency related issues such as reference database search speed, errors while...

Data privacy is crucial when dealing with biometric data. Accounting for the latest European data privacy regulation and payment service directive, biometric template protection is essential for any commercial application. Ensuring unlinkability across biometric service operators, irreversibility of leaked encrypted templates, and renewability of e.g., voice models following the i-vector paradi...

background: considering differences in head size and shape of different equine breeds, biometric parameters can be an attribute to a particular race. objectives: the purpose of the present paper is to give a numerical definition of morphological characteristics of head region of the darehshori horse. methods: twenty mature darehshori horses were studied biometrically. the ear length, ears dista...

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...

Purpose To identify and discuss the issues and success factors surrounding biometrics, especially in the context of user authentication and controls in the banking sector, using a case study. Design/methodology/approach The literature survey and analysis of the security models of the present information systems and biometric technologies in the banking sector provide the theoretical and practic...

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...
