Biometrics: A Tool For Information Security Anil K.Jain, Arun Ross, Sharath Pankanti IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics and Security, Volume 1, Issue 2, June 2006, pp. 125 - 143 Presented by Sumit Poddar Email: spod002@ec.auckland.ac.nz
Summary • Biometrics: Recognition technique based on “who you are” rather than “what you know” or “what you have”. • This paper provides an overview of biometrics.
Critical Comment In the section corresponding to template security the author uses “Hill Climbing Attack” in multiple places without describing it in detail.
Appreciative Comment • Explains the important aspects of biometric systems which are listed below • The characteristics used in biometric systems • Biometric Variance • Operation of a Biometric System • Functionalities of a Biometric System • Attacks on a Biometric System • Multi-Biometric Systems
Appreciative Comment • Highlights the aspects which are currently areas of research and can make biometrics an improved technology. • Effective representation and matching • Characterizing signal quality and enhancement • Empirical Performance Measurement
Appreciative Comment Failures in biometric systems can be clearly explained with the help of a fish-bone diagram. Figure1: Fishbone (cause and effect) diagram of biometric failures
Discussion • How can we use a fish-bone diagram to model security • failures in the example scenario mentioned below? • Example scenario: biometric passport
