Development of Fingerprint and Iris Authentication Systems in Thailand Dr. Sarun Sumriddetchkajorn Electro-Optics Section, NECTEC Dr. Vutipong Areekul Dept. of ECE, Kasetsart Univ. (KU) A Seminar on Information Security Technologies Thailand Science Park, Pathumthani November 11, 2003
Outline • Personal Identification Methods • What is Biometrics? • Fingerprint Authentication Systems by Thai Researchers • Iris Authentication Systems by Thai Researchers • Conclusion
Use What You Already Know ID Card, Mother Name, Son’s Name, Place of Birth, License Number, Tel Number, E-mail, ... • Use What You Have Key, Card, Ticket, ... The Answer is Yes or No. Personal Identification Methods
Use What You Are High Security Biometrics Answer is NOT Yes or No But the Confidence to Say Yes or No. Personal Identification Methods (Cont.)
Physical Characteristics Behavioral Characteristics • Fingerprint • Palm print • Retina • Iris • DNA • Face • ... • Signature • Voice • Key stroke • Gait • ... Biometrics • Started More Than 1,000 Years Ago (e.g., Eye Color) • It is the Automated Method of Recognizing A Personal
Key Advantages of Using Biometrics • Hard to Duplicate • Always with You • Can’t Transfer to Anybody
Can be Designed and Implemented by Thais General Biometric System Biometrics : Comes with you Template Storage Enrollment Biometrics Sensor Create Template Verification/ Identification Applications Biometric System
Why Starts with Fingerprint? • Low Cost Compared to Other Biometric Devices • Used by Police > 10 Years • Easy to Implement • Can be Made Compact • Low Maintenance
NECTEC Optical Fingerprint Scanner (NOFS) Initiated and Started in Mid 2001 • Why Optics? • Low Maintenance • Long Life • Inherent Electrostatic Discharge Protection • NECTEC Lab has Capability to Implement • (i.e., currently filed two patents)
NOFS Specifications Image Resolution: 500 DPI Max. Image Size: 640x480 pixels (Typ. 320x240 pixels) Image Capture Area: 25x25 mm2 (Can be Adjusted) Interface to Host: USB or Ethernet Supported OS: Windows Dimensions: 60x110x73 mm3
USB Port LAN • Single Unit Operation • N-Unit Operation
NOFS Applications • E-Citizen (i.e., combine with Smart Cards) • Time Attendance Systems • Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems • Voting Systems • E-Banking • Access Monitoring Systems • Personal Registration Systems (e.g., Aliens, Students)
Prototype-to-Market Problems/Obstacles • Component Suppliers were Locally Hard to Find. • Most Companies are not Interested in or do not Support Thai Research Products. • i.e., Imported Products are Easier and Gain More Profit. • Most Programmers Work on Database Programming • Not on Biometric Algorithms.
Prototype-to-Market Current Status • Thailand has Its Own Optical Fingerprint Scanners. • NOFS can be worked with Commercially Available Fingerprint SDKs. • Negotiating with Two Local Companies to License the Prototype. • KU’s Team is Developing Algorithms and Hardwares using Other Technologies.
Leads to Knows How to Implement Not How to Buy or Use • Knowledge-based Society • Research in Thailand will get Stronger and More Products designed by Thais will be in the Market. HOPE Thai Companies/Government Offices Start and Have Policy to Use Products Designed and Implemented by Thais
