ABSTRACT
This paper presents a conceptual framework for testing the implementation of biometric algorithms within Unix and Windows NT/2000 operating systems' login authentication. To support the analysis and evaluation of biometric algorithms, a data logging module will be used, enabling the collection of quantitative data, e.g. timestamps, biometric raw data, (pre)processed data, and return codes from each run of a biometric authentication. It is shown how biometric algorithms and a data logging module can be integrated into Unix and Windows NT/2000. In addition to the explained system components a human observer is necessary to collect extended data like user behavior and environmental conditions, which cannot be automatically recorded by the data logging module. From the combination of these two types of data, conclusions on the biometric algorithm in the context of its implementation in operating systems' authentication can be drawn. The resulting benefits for the development of appropriate biometric algorithms concerning aspects of robustness (security, safety), performance measures and usability will be discussed for iris-biometrics.

Biometric Authentication by Handwriting Using Leap Motion
IMCOM '16: Proceedings of the 10th International Conference on Ubiquitous Information Management and CommunicationIn recent years, biometrics authentication becomes popular. No key is required in biometrics authentication while password must be remembered in password authentication. Moreover, living parts for biometrics authentication cannot be stolen with usual ...
An efficient approach to iris detection for iris biometric processing
Detection of iris in an eye image poses a number of challenges, such as inferior image quality, occlusion of eyelids, eyelashes etc. Owing to these problems, it is not possible to achieve 100% accuracy in any iris-based biometric authentication system. ...
