Hiding iris data for authentication of digital images using wavelet theory

This paper introduces an efficient approach to protect the ownership by hiding an iris data into digital image for an authentication purpose. It is based on the theory of wavelets. The idea is to secretly embed biometric data (iris print) in the content of the image identifying the owner. The system is based on an empirical analysis of biometric and watermarking technologies, and it is split into several processes. The first process is based on iris image analysis, which aids the generation of the iris code (watermark); the second and the third processes deal with embedding and detecting a watermark; and the last process deals with the authentication. A new metric that measures the objective quality of the image based on the detected watermark bit is introduced, which does not require the original unmarked image for watermark detection. Simulation results show the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed approach. The text was submitted by the author in English.     

MMU GASPFA: A COTS multimodal biometric database

This paper describes the baseline corpus of a new multimodal biometric database, the MMU GASPFA (Gait–Speech–Face) database. The corpus in GASPFA is acquired using commercial off the shelf (COTS) equipment including digital video cameras, digital voice recorder, digital camera, Kinect camera and accelerometer equipped smart phones. The corpus consists of frontal face images from the digital camera, speech utterances recorded using the digital voice recorder, gait videos with their associated data recorded using both the digital video cameras and Kinect camera simultaneously as well as accelerometer readings from the smart phones. A total of 82 participants had their biometric data recorded. MMU GASPFA is able to support both multimodal biometric authentication as well as gait action recognition. This paper describes the acquisition setup and protocols used in MMU GASPFA, as well as the content of the corpus. Baseline results from a subset of the participants are presented for validation purposes.

Mobile device integration of a fingerprint biometric remote authentication scheme

Various user authentication schemes with smart cards have been proposed. Generally, researchers implicitly assume that the contents of a smart card cannot be revealed. However, this is not true. An attacker can analyze the leaked information and obtain the secret values in a smart card. To improve on this drawback, we involve a fingerprint biometric and password to enhance the security level of the remote authentication scheme Our scheme uses only hashing functions to implement a robust authentication with a low computation property.
