  1. Biometrics: A Tool for Information Security IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INFORMATION FORENSICS AND SECURITY, VOL. 1, NO. 2, JUNE 2006 Authors: Anil K. Jain, Arun Ross, Sharath Pankanti Presenter: Eugene Phan Biometrics: A Tool for Information Security

  2. Summary • The need for reliable user authentication and identification has risen from concerns in content ownership, information security, border control. • Instead of authenticating the possession of an identity item (license key, password), verify the person himself (biometrics): claimed identity (duplication), known identity (in database), a wanted person? Biometrics: A Tool for Information Security

  3. Comments (Positive) I • Goes to some lengths in explaining Biometrics: • Types & properties of biometric feature (face, voice, iris, fingerprint, etc) • Limitations of acquisition (presentation is inconsistent and irreproducible, quality is not always guaranteed) • Imperfect matching (unlike password) resulting in false positive and false negative Biometrics: A Tool for Information Security

  4. Comments (Positive) II • Goes to some lengths in explaining Biometrics (cont): • Describes the function of biometric system (authentication, ‘wanted list’) and how it works • Vulnerability to attacks (Zero-Effort where 2 individuals have very similar biometric features, Adversary where spoofing, circumvention, etc are attempted) Suggests watermarking and steganography coupled with encryption to protect biometric templates. Biometrics: A Tool for Information Security

  5. Comments (Negative) • Presents the idea of Biometric Crypto-System - use of biometric as part of the key generation & storage. • Current implementation is to unlock the key. • Introduces “fuzzy vault” technique but not clearly explained. • Novel concept but explanation of implementation is not clear.

  6. Question • With the current performance in enrollment and verification, would you be comfortable (trust) having biometric system protect your bank account - miss identification as a bad person or overnight billionaire? Biometrics: A Tool for Information Security
