Abstract

Biometric information can be easily leaked and/or copied. Therefore, the biometric information used for biometric authentication should be kept secure. To cope with this issue, we have proposed a user authentication system using a human reflex response. It is assumed that even if people know someone’s reflex characteristics, it is difficult to impersonate that individual, as anyone cannot control his/her reflexes. In this study, we discuss a biometric authentication system using eye-head coordination as a particular instance of reflex-based authentication. The availability of the proposed authentication system is evaluated through fundamental experiments.
