Gradually increasing the value of the technology, the techniques of the various security systems to protect the core technology have been developed. The proposed security scheme, which uses both a Password and the various devices, is always open by malicious user. In order to solve that problem, the biometric authentication systems are introduced but they have a problem which is the secondary damage to the user. So, the authentication methods using EEG(Electroencephalography) signals were developed. However, the size of EEG signals is big and it cause a lot of problems for the real-time authentication. And the encryption method is necessary. In this paper, we proposed an efficient real-time authentication system applied encryption scheme with junk data using chaos map on the EEG signals.

Recently, biometric technology has begun to be used as a fusion of IT technology and financial system. Using this biometric technology, FIDO(Fast Identity Online) technology, Samsung and Apple started Samsung Pay and Apple Pay service. FIDO authentication technology replaces existing authentication methods such as passwords. Among the biometric technologies, fingerprint recognition technology is attracting attention because it can minimize the device and user rejection at a relatively low price. However, fingerprint information has a limited number of users and it can not be reused if fingerprint information is leaked by an external attacker. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a method to authenticate a user using EEG signal which is one of biometrics technologies. W propose a method to use EEG signal measurement value in FIDO system by using convenience channel by using short channel EEG device. And propose a method to utilize EEG signal when the user recognizes a specific entity by measuring the EEG signal before and after recognizing a specific entity.

Brainwave-based user authentication technology has advantages such as changeability, shoulder-surfing resistance, and etc. comparing with conventional biometric authentications, fingerprint recognition for instance which are widely used for smart phone and finance user authentication. Despite these advantages, brainwave-based authentication technology has not been used in practice because of the price for EEG (electroencephalography) collecting devices and inconvenience to use those devices. However, according to the development of simple and convenient EEG collecting devices which are portable and communicative by the recent advances in hardware technology, relevant researches have been actively performed. However, according to the experiment based on EEG samples collected by using a single-channel EEG measurement device which is the most simplified one, the authentication accuracy decreases as the number of channels to measure and collect EEG decreases. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze technical problems that need to be solved for practical use of brainwave-based use authentication and propose an incremental elimination method of collected EEG samples for each user to consist a set of EEG samples which are effective to authentication users.

The personal authentication technique is an essential tool in this complex and modern digital information society. Traditionally, the most general mechanism of personal authentication was using alphanumeric passwords. However, passwords that are hard to guess or to break, are often hard to remember. There are demands for a technology capable of replacing the text-based password system. Graphical passwords can be an alternative, but it is vulnerable to shoulder-surfing attacks. This paper looks through a number of recently developed graphical password systems and introduces a personal authentication system using a machine learning technique with electroencephalography (EEG) signals as a new type of personal authentication system which is easier for a person to use and more difficult for others to steal than other preexisting authentication systems.

Traditional electroencephalography (EEG)-based authentication systems generally use external stimuli that require user attention and relatively long time for authentication. The aim of this study is to investigate the feasibility of biometric authentication based on EEG without using any external stimuli. Seventeen subjects took part in the experiment and their EEGs were measured while repetitively closing and opening their eyes. For identifying each subject, we calculated inter- and intra-subject cross-correlation using changes in alpha activity (8-13 Hz) during eyes closed as compared to eyes open. In order to optimize the number of recording electrodes, we calculated authentication accuracy by progressively reducing the number of electrodes used in the analysis. Significant increase in alpha activity was observed for all subjects during eyes closed, focusing on occipital areas, and spatial patterns of changed alpha activity were considerably different between the subjects. A mean authentication accuracy of 92.45% was obtained, which was retained over 75% when using only 8 electrodes placed around occipital areas. Our results could demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed novel authentication method based on resting state EEGs.

In this paper, we presented the results of analysis through EEG measurement for the purpose of checking the frequency band of EEG signals that can be used for personal authentication. The measurement status was divided into the open-eye state and the closed-eye state depending on the presence or absence of an optical task. The data measured in the EEG experiments was divided into seven frequency bands : delta waves, theta waves, alpha waves, SMR waves, mid-beta waves, beta waves and gamma waves to identify the frequency band with the smallest power fluctuation over time. In our results, there was no significant difference between the open-eye state and the closed-eye state, and the SMR waves and mid-beta waves related to human concentration had the smallest fluctuation in power over time, and were a highly reproducible frequency band.

In this paper, we measured the user's EEG signal and classified the EEG signal using the Support Vector Machine algorithm and measured the accuracy of the signal. An experiment was conducted to measure the user's EEG signals by separating men and women, and a single channel EEG device was used for EEG signal measurements. The results of measuring users' EEG signals using EEG devices were analyzed using R. In addition, data in the study was predicted using a 80:20 ratio between training data and test data by applying a combination of specific vectors with the highest classifying performance of the SVM, and thus the predicted accuracy of 93.2% of the recognition rate. This paper suggested that the user's EEG signal could be recognized at about 93.2 percent, and that it can be performed only by simple linear classification of the SVM algorithm, which can be used variously for biometrics using EEG signals.

Electroencephalography(EEG) studies that have been in clinical research since the discovery of brainwave have recently been developed into brain-computer interface studies. Currently, research is underway to manipulate robot arms and drones by analyzing brainwave. However, resolution and reliability of EEG information is still limited. Therefore, it is required to develop various technologies necessary for measuring and interpreting brainwave more accurately. Pioneering new applications with these technologies is also important. In this paper, we propose development of a personal authentication system fit for lifecaretainment based on EEG. The proposed system guarantees the resolution and reliability of EEG information by using the Electrooculogram and Electromyogram(EMG) together with EEG.

Biometric information does not need to be stored separately, and there is no risk of loss and no theft. For this reason, it has been attracting attention as an alternative authentication means for existing authentication means such as passwords and authorized certificates. However, there may be a privacy problem due to leakage of personal information stored in the server. To overcome these weaknesses, FIDO solved the problem of leakage of personal information on the server by using biometric information stored on the user device and authenticating. In this paper, we propose a multiple biometric authentication method that can be used in FIDO environment. In order to utilize multiple biometric information, fingerprints and EEG signals can be generated and used in FIDO system. The proposed method can solve the problem due to limitations of existing 2-factor authentication system by authentication using multiple biometric information.
