TL;DR: The inherent strengths of biometrics-based authentication are outlined, the weak links in systems employing biometric authentication are identified, and new solutions for eliminating these weak links are presented.
Abstract: Because biometrics-based authentication offers several advantages over other authentication methods, there has been a significant surge in the use of biometrics for user authentication in recent years. It is important that such biometrics-based authentication systems be designed to withstand attacks when employed in security-critical applications, especially in unattended remote applications such as e-commerce. In this paper we outline the inherent strengths of biometrics-based authentication, identify the weak links in systems employing biometrics-based authentication, and present new solutions for eliminating some of these weak links. Although, for illustration purposes, fingerprint authentication is used throughout, our analysis extends to other biometrics-based methods.

TL;DR: An implicit authentication approach is introduced that enhances password patterns with an additional security layer, transparent to the user, so that users are not only authenticated by the shape they input but also by the way they perform the input.

TL;DR: A personal, biometric authentication system is disclosed in this paper, which employs the combination of a unique, inherently specific biometric parameter recognized and compared with stored data and at least one non-specific biometric parameters of a physiological characteristic recognized and contrasted with physiological norms.
Abstract: A personal, biometric authentication system is disclosed. The system can be used for controlling access to equipment or physical facilities. The system employs the combination of a unique, inherently specific biometric parameter recognized and compared with stored data and at least one non-specific biometric parameter of a physiological characteristic recognized and compared with physiological norms. Positive comparison results in authentication of an individual that is not incapacitated, dismembered, or deceased.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the authenticity work involved in claiming authenticity and discuss the processes of authentication and explore the situations in which the quest for authenticity makes for change and conclude that the salience of authenticity can change.
Abstract: After showing that authenticity is socially constructed rather than an attribute of that which is called authentic, we examine the authenticity work involved in claiming authenticity and discuss the processes of authentication. We then explore the situations in which the quest for authenticity makes for change and conclude by showing that the salience of authenticity can change.
