Traditional authentication systems that rely on simple passwords, PIN numbers or tokens have many security issues, like easily guessed passwords, PIN numbers written on the back of cards, etc. Thus, biometric authentication methods that…
In the XXIth century there is a strong interest on privacy issues. Technology permits obtaining personal information without individuals consent, computers make it feasible to share and process this information, and this can bring about…
The standard methods of identification such as PIN Numbers (Personal Identification Number), Passwords, smart cards can be easily stolen and can be misused easily. To overcome this, biometric is introduced, as it will be unique to each…
This work aims to show the applicability, and how, of privacy by design approach to biometric systems and the benefit of using formal methods to this end. Starting from a general framework that has been introduced at STM in 2014, that…
Personal identification and authentication is very crucial in the current scenario. Biometrics plays an important role in this area. Biometric based authentication has proved superior compared to traditional password based authentication.…
Biometrics are widely used for authentication in consumer devices and business settings as they provide sufficiently strong security, instant verification and convenience for users. However, biometrics are hard to keep secret, stolen…
Today, deep learning represents the most popular and successful form of machine learning. Deep learning has revolutionised the field of pattern recognition, including biometric recognition. Biometric systems utilising deep learning have…
Biometrics is the science and technology of measuring and analyzing biological data of human body, extracting a feature set from the acquired data, and comparing this set against to the template set in the database. Experimental studies…
The prevalence of biometric authentication has been on the rise due to its ease of use and elimination of weak passwords. To date, most biometric authentication systems have been designed for on-device authentication of the device owner…
Despite the increasing adoption of biometric technologies, their regulation has not kept up with the same pace, particularly with regard to safeguarding individuals' privacy and personal data. Policymakers may struggle to comprehend the…
Biometric data is considered to be very private and highly sensitive. As such, many methods for biometric template protection were considered over the years -- from biohashing and specially crafted feature extraction procedures, to the use…
Many biometric template protection algorithms have been proposed mainly in two approaches: biometric feature transformation and biometric cryptosystem. Security evaluation of the proposed algorithms are often conducted in various…
Biometric recognition systems are security systems based on intrinsic properties of their users, usually encoded in high dimension representations called embeddings, which potential theft would represent a greater threat than a temporary…
In this paper we assess how well users know biometric authentication methods, how they perceive them, and if they have misconceptions about them. We present the results of an online survey that we conducted in two rounds (2019, N=57; and…
Computationally efficient, accurate, and privacy-preserving data storage and retrieval are among the key challenges faced by practical deployments of biometric identification systems worldwide. In this work, a method of protected indexing…
Most developed countries have started the implementation of biometric electronic identification cards, especially passports. The European Union and the United States of America struggle to introduce and standardize these electronic…
Biometric technology has been increasingly deployed in the past decade, offering greater security and convenience than traditional methods of personal recognition. Although biometric signals' quality heavily affects a biometric system's…
Identity verification is an increasingly important process in our daily lives, and biometric recognition is a natural solution to the authentication problem. One of the most important research directions in the field of biometrics is the…
Cancelable biometric schemes aim at generating secure biometric templates by combining user specific tokens, such as password, stored secret or salt, along with biometric data. This type of transformation is constructed as a composition of…
This paper conducts an extensive review of biometric user authentication literature, addressing three primary research questions: (1) commonly used biometric traits and their suitability for specific applications, (2) performance factors…
