Biometric standards and methods (original) (raw)

Review of Biometric system performance, metrics and representation..

Numerous applications for personal identification exist and more are emerging daily. Examples of personal identification applications include immigration and border control, physical access control, time and attendance, computer security, and law enforcement. As a result, the area of biometrics will continue to be an area of interest for many researchers. In the past, the identity of an individual was determined based upon a possession or knowledge of a piece of information. These identification methods can be circumvented by unauthorized sharing or misplacement. However, biometric identifiers cannot be shared easily or forgotten because they are based on potentially distinctive physiological characteristics. This property makes biometrics a viable and perhaps superior approach to personal identification.

COMPARISON STUDY OF VARIOUS BIOMETRICS METHODS

NIU International Journal of Human Rights, 2021

Biometrics systems have come into existence from the birth of a human being in different forms, and measure physical characteristics. It differs from man to man and it provides a measurement of physical characteristics. The system speaks about all psychological characteristics considering the permanent identification of each and every person. Actually, these physical characteristics of a human being are permanent ones and do not change throughout life. This paper presents various biometrics techniques in the field of security and identification purposes. Each method covers a number of advantages in comparison to others. Although there are various biometric methods available, still there is a need to compare these methods in order to provide the best and efficient method.

Biometric Systems and Their Applications

Eye Tracking and New Trends [Working Title]

Nowadays, we are talking more and more about insecurity in various sectors as well as the computer techniques to be implemented to counter this trend: access control to computers, e-commerce, banking, etc. There are two traditional ways of identifying an individual. The first method is a knowledge-based method. It is based on the knowledge of an individual's information such as the PIN code to allow him/her to activate a mobile phone. The second method is based on the possession of token. It can be a piece of identification, a key, a badge, etc. These two methods of identification can be used in a complementary way to obtain increased security like in bank cards. However, they each have their weaknesses. In the first case, the password can be forgotten or guessed by a third party. In the second case, the badge (or ID or key) may be lost or stolen. Biometric features are an alternative solution to the two previous identification modes. The advantage of using the biometric features is that they are all universal, measurable, unique, and permanent. The interest of applications using biometrics can be summed up in two classes: to facilitate the way of life and to avoid fraud.

A Survey of Biometric Techniques

— Biometrics is becoming very essential in computer security world. Biometrics refers to an automated system that can identify a person by measuring their physical and behavioral uniqueness or patterns, and comparing it. By using biometric techniques a person can be identified/verified based on " who she/he is " rather than " what she/he has " (card, token, key) or " what she/he/ knows " (password, PIN). In this paper, present a review of biometric standards, both unique and multi model, and their advantages and disadvantages will be presented.

Comparative Analysis of Various Biometric Techniques

PIJMT, 2015

In the ever-changing world of global data communications, and fast-paced software development, security is becoming more and more of an issue. No system can ever be completely secure, all one can do is make it increasingly difficult for someone to compromise the system. The more secure the system is, the more intrusive the security becomes. One needs to decide where in this balancing act the system will still be usable and secure for the purposes. Here we have discussed different Biometric tools and related security issues. Identity is to establish the identity of a person, or to ascertain the origin, nature or definitive characteristics of a particular person. To uniquely identify a person different types of information can be used with other sources. This concept is ancient, and has become much more important as information technology and the Internet have made it easier to collect identifiable documents. To identify a person, the recent trend is to use biometric. Different biometric features can distinctively identify a person unless there are identical twins. In case of identical twins many biometrics fail to distinguish them as separate person, but fingerprint still can distinguish. In recent technology more than one biometric feature is also being used in a combination to have more robust indentifying system. Several research projects have shown that multimodal biometrics (e.g. fingerprints and voiceprints combined) can improve the performance and reliability of biometric authentication.

Comparative and Analysis Study of Biometric Systems

2019

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the field of biometrics as a powerful identification technology. Various biometric technologies are based on behavioral and physiological analysis; therefore they must be reliable, robust, simple and cheap. In this paper, we have investigated an analytical comparison of different biometric systems namely: fingerprint, iris, face, voice, keystroke dynamics, signature, retina, etc. and we have classified these methods based on several criteria such as: universality, uniqueness, permanency, intrusiveness, effort, cost, and reliability, as well as the most used biometric systems requested in the market and those that are of greater interest in the current research work, and for each criteria we gave synthetic discussions. Furthermore, we provided a brief overview of biometric methods, then we have described the modes used in a biometric system such as enrollment, verification and identification and we have presented the possible appl...

Evaluation of biometric system performance in the context of Common Criteria

Information Sciences, 2013

ABSTRACT Nowadays, many Information Technology (IT) systems and applications are assessed by licensed laboratories in order to guarantee that these products fulfil a predefined set of security specifications. These evaluations are carried out in accordance with international Common Criteria (CC) for IT Security Evaluation and its Common Evaluation Methodology (CEM), with the objective of obtaining a certificate which will be recognised in several countries. Nevertheless, CC does not go into detail of each of the special characteristics for most of the IT technologies. Therefore specific guidelines must be developed to help testing organisations to understand how to apply CEM to each kind of product, especially when the security properties to be analysed are different from other previously-defined technologies. This is currently the case for biometrics. In this paper, the authors define how CEM is to be interpreted in the context of biometrics, and the correct way to apply it for testing biometric system performance. Biometric technical performance is one of the most important security parameters to be analysed in the case of biometrics, because it not only quantifies the capability to correctly identify individuals, but also measures the probability of countering impersonation and disguise threats. These guidelines have been developed by considering the most recent version of the CC standard and ISO/IEC 19795 multipart standard, which establish the principles for the evaluation of biometric performance.

IJERT-A Study Of Different Types Of Biometric Techniques

International Journal of Engineering Research and Technology (IJERT), 2013

A wide variety of systems require reliable personal recognition schemes to either confirm or determine the identity of an individual requesting their services. The purpose of such schemes is to ensure that the rendered services are accessed only by a legitimate user, and not anyone else. Examples of such applications include secure access to buildings, computer systems, laptops, cellular phones and ATMs.
