This paper examines the possibility of using a combination of biometric attributes to overcome common problems in having a single biometric scheme for authentication and also investigates possible schemes and features to deal with variations in Biometric attributes.Abstract:
Biometric identifiers refer to unique physical properties or behavioral attributes of individuals. Some of the w ell known biometric identifiers are voice, finger prints, retina or iris, facial structure etc. I n our daily interaction w ith others directly or indirectly, we implicitly use biometrics to know, distinguish and trust people. Biometric identifiers represent the concept of "who a person ' is" ' by ' gathering ' vital ' characteristics ' that ' don't ' correspond to any other person. The human brain to some extent is able to ascertain disparities or variation in certain physical attributes and yet verify the authenticity of a person. But this is difficult to be implemented in electronic systems due to the intense requirements of artificial decision making and hard-coded logic. This paper examines the possibility of using a combination of biometric attributes to overcome common problems in having a single biometric scheme for authentication. I t also investigates possible schemes and features to deal with variations in Biometric attributes. The material presented is related to ongoing research by the Computer Communications R esearch group at Leeds Metropolitan University. We use this paper as a starting step and as a plan for advanced research. It offers ideas and proposition for implementing hybrid biometrics in conjunction with cryptography. This is a work in progress and is in a very preliminary stage.read more
