Biometric-Based Human Identification Using Ensemble-Based Technique and ECG Signals (original) (raw)

User authentication has become necessary in different life domains. Traditional authentication methods like personal information numbers (PINs), password ID cards, and tokens are vulnerable to attacks. For secure authentication, methods like biometrics have been developed in the past. Biometric information is hard to lose, forget, duplicate, or share because it is a part of the human body. Many authentication methods focused on electrocardiogram (ECG) signals have achieved great success. In this paper, we have developed cardiac biometrics for human identification using a deep learning (DL) approach. Cardiac biometric systems rely on cardiac signals that are captured using the electrocardiogram (ECG), photoplethysmogram (PPG), and phonocardiogram (PCG). This study utilizes the ECG as a biometric modality because ECG signals are a superior choice for accurate, secure, and reliable biometric-based human identification systems, setting them apart from PPG and PCG approaches.
