ABSTRACT
Biometric methods for authentication on mobile devices are becoming popular. Some methods such as face and voice biometrics are problematic in noisy mobile environments, while others such as fingerprint require specialized hardware to operate. We present a novel biometric authentication method that uses raw touch capacitance data captured from the hand touching a display. Performance results using a moderate sample size (N = 40) yielded an equal error rate (EER) of 2.5%, while a 1-month longitudinal study using a smaller sample (N = 10) yielded an EER = 2.3%. Overall, our results provide evidence for biometric uniqueness, permanence and user acceptance.

AbstractBiometrics technology is one of the most important and effective solutions for personal authentication. In recent years, as one of the emerging biometrics technologies, dorsal hand vein (DHV) biometrics has received a lot of attention. In fact, ...
A privacy-preserving cancelable iris template generation scheme using decimal encoding and look-up table mapping
Biometric-based recognition systems have overcome passive issues of traditional human authentication systems. However, security theft and privacy invasion are two passive issues that still persist in the effective deployment of biometric-based ...
Continuous user authentication using multi-modal biometrics
As modern mobile devices increase in their capability and accessibility, they introduce additional demands in terms of security - particularly authentication. With the widely documented poor use of PINs, Active Authentication is designed to overcome the ...
