  1. Biometric Security Pieter.Hartel@utwente.nl

  2. Problem • People use weak passwords • People write the pin code on their bank card • Biometrics cannot be “forgotten” and you do not have to “think of it” IIS

  3. Personal Identification Associating an individual with an identity: • Something you have • Token, smart card • Something you know • Password, pin • Something you are: • Physiological • Behavioural IIS

  4. Forms of Identification • Authentication (aka Verification) • Am I who a claim to be? • Recognition (aka Identification) • Who am I? • Harder than Authentication (why?) IIS

  5. Physiological or Behavioural? [Jai00] A. K. Jain, L. Hong, and S. Pankanti. Biometric identification. Commun. ACM, 43(2):90-98, Feb 2000. http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/328236.328110 IIS

  6. Sample Application Areas IIS

  7. Verification Verification is easier than identification… IIS

  8. Two examples • Hand geometry • Fingerprint IIS

  9. Hand Geometry (Hand Key) IIS

  10. Measure your Right hand IIS

  11. FBI classification • What is your right hand index finger? Arch Whorl Loop Accidental IIS

  12. Fingerprint matching • Ridge thinning & extraction • Minutiae (bifurcation, end point) detection • Ridge based alignment & overlaying IIS

  13. Desired Characteristics • Biometric • Universal • Unique • Permanent • Collectable • System • Performance • Acceptability • Circumvention Watch this video [Put00] T. van der Putte and J. Keuning. Biometrical fingerprint recognition: Don't get your fingers burned. In 4th Int. IFIP wg 8.8 Conf. Smart card research and advanced application (CARDIS), pages 289-303, Bristol, UK, Sep 2000. Kluwer Academic Publishers, Boston, Massachusetts. http://www.keuning.com/biometry/Biometrical_Fingerprint_Recognition.pdf IIS

  14. Some Comparisons IIS

  15. Biometrics is not perfect • High False Accept rate is bad for high security applications -- dangerous • High False Reject rate is bad for high usability applications -- annoying IIS

  16. Receiver Operating Characteristics Low False Accept Rate High Low False Reject Rate High IIS

  17. Security

  18. Attacks • How many templates do you have? IIS

  19. Template protection • Requirements • Diversity (no cross matching of data bases for privacy) • Revocability (easy to replace template) • Security (hard to obtain the original) • Performance (matching must be robust) • Why does encryption not work? • Two examples • Non-invertible transforms • Fuzzy commitment [Jai08] A. K. Jain, K. Nandakumar, and A. Nagar. Biometric template security. EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing, 2008:579416, 2008. http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2008/579416 IIS

  20. Non invertible transform “crumple” • User specific transformation (revocability) • Locally smooth translation outside mather tolerance (performance) • Globally non smooth (security) [Rat06] N. Ratha, J. Connell, R. M. Bolle, and S. Chikkerur. Cancelable biometrics: A case study in fingerprints. In 18th Int. Conf. on Pattern Recognition (ICPR), volume 4, pages 370-373, Honkong, China, Aug 2006. IEEE Computer Society. http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/ICPR.2006.353 IIS

  21. Fuzzy commitment Example • Idea • Use biometric template : x • As a corrupted code word : c = x-δ • The commitment is • Hash code word for security : h(c) • Leave distance in clear for fuzziness : δ • Verification • Measure : x’ • Compute: c’ = decode (x’- δ) • Match if h(c’) = h(c) x x’ δ δ 100 200 300 c c’? c’? 100 200 [Jue99a] A. Juels and M. Wattenberg. A fuzzy commitment scheme. In 6th ACM conf. on Computer and communications security (CCS), pages 28-36, Kent Ridge Digital Labs, Singapore, 1999. ACM. http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/319709.319714 IIS

  22. Template protection application [Buh07] I. R. Buhan, J. M. Doumen, P. H. Hartel, and R. N. J. Veldhuis. Secure ad-hoc pairing with biometrics: SAfE. In 1st Int. Workshop on Security for Spontaneous Interaction (Ubicomp 2007 Workshop Proceedings), pages 450-456, Innsbruck, Austria, Sep 2007. http://www.comp.lancs.ac.uk/iwssi2007/papers/iwssi2007-02.pdf

  23. Secure ad-hoc pairing • Suppose two people meet • Who have never met before • There is no TTP and/or they are not online • They are not technical • They would like to exchange data • Concerned about eavesdropper • How to do this? • Biometrics • Shielding function as fuzzy extractor • Protocol with novel “related key attack” IIS

  24. wb wa Idea: Take each other’s photo Enroll- ment ma=0110... mb=1101... wa wb radio mb=decode( , ) Alice has ma,mb Verifi- cation ma=decode( , ) Bob has ma,mb IIS

  25. Coping with noise • Problem: • Alice gets m’b close to mb but not the same • The same for Bob... • Solution: • During enrollment calculate error profiles • Cryptanalysis using those profiles to recover the correct key • More work for eavesdropper IIS

  26. Usability • Compare Pin to SAFE • 30 subjects: questionnaire + interview • Mainly CS • Results IIS

  27. Conclusions • Identification or verification • Complements password and token • Systems getting affordable • Biggest problems: • Performance • Public acceptance • Biometrics is fun IIS
