BIOMETRICS Fawaz Alsaade, Aladdin Ariyaeeinia, Amit Malegaonkar, Surosh Pillay University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, UK Abstract A new approach to enhancing the accuracy of multimodal biometrics is investigated. The proposed approach, which involves combining score normalisation and qualitative-based fusion, is shown to considerably improve the accuracy of multimodal biometrics under different...

The topic of multi-modal biometrics has attracted strong interest in recent years. This paper categorizes approaches to multi-modal biometrics based on the biometric source, the type of sensing used, and the depth of collaborative interaction in the processing. This paper also attempts to identify some of the challenges and issues that confront research in multimodal biometrics.

Biometric recognition is automated recognition of individual based on the physiological and behavioral characteristics. Unimodal biometrics are facing problems like noisy data, intra class variation, inter class variation, spoofing attack etc. These limitations can be solved by using multimodal biometrics. Comparing to unimodal, multimodal biometric systems are performing better. A multimodal b...

Form a privacy perspective most concerns against the common use of biometrics arise from the storage and misuse of biometric data. Biometric cryptosystems and cancelable biometrics represent emerging technologies of biometric template protection addressing these concerns and improving public confidence and acceptance of biometrics. In addition, biometric cryptosystems provide mechanisms for bio...

Can biometrics do what everyone is expecting it will? And more importantly, should it be doing it? Biometrics is the buzzword “on the mouth” of everyone, who are trying to use this technology in a variety of applications. But all this “hype” about biometrics can be dangerous without a careful evaluation of the real needs of each application. In this paper I’ll try to focus on the dangers of usi...

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...
