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.

Fuzzy extractor is a biometric encryption that generates keys from biometric data where input values are not always the same due to the noisy data, and performs authentication securely without exposing biometric information. However, if a user registers biometric data on multiple servers, various attacks on helper data which is a public information used to extract keys during the authentication process of the fuzzy extractor can expose the keys. Therefore many studies have been conducted on reusable fuzzy extractors that are secure to register biometric data of the same person on multiple servers. But as the key length increases, the studies presented so far have gradually increased the number of key recovery processes, making it inefficient and difficult to utilize in security systems. In this paper, we design an efficient and reusable fuzzy extractor based on LWE with the same or similar number of times of the authentication process even if the key length is increased, and show that the proposed algorithm is reusably-secure defined by Apon et al.[5].

While biometric authentication system has been in general use, research is ongoing to apply biometric data to public key infrastructure. It is a significant task to generate a cryptographic key from biometrics in setting up a public key of Bio-PKI. Methods for generating the key by quantization of feature vector can cause data loss and degrade the performance of key extraction. In this paper, we suggest a new method for generating a cryptographic key from classification results of biometric data using multiple classifying models. Our proposal does not cause data loss of feature vector so it showed better performance in key extraction. Also, it uses the multiple models to generate key blocks which produce sufficient length of the key.

A multiple classification system based on a new boosting technique has been approached utilizing different biometric traits, that is, color face, iris and eye along with fingerprints of right and left hands, handwriting, palm-print, gait (silhouettes) and wrist-vein for person authentication. The images of different biometric traits were taken from different standard databases such as FEI, UTIRIS, CASIA, IAM and CIE. This system is comprised of three different super-classifiers to individually perform person identification. The individual classifiers corresponding to each super-classifier in their turn identify different biometric features and their conclusions are integrated together in their respective super-classifiers. The decisions from individual super-classifiers are integrated together through a mega-super-classifier to perform the final conclusion using programming based boosting. The mega-super-classifier system using different super-classifiers in a compact form is more reliable than single classifier or even single super-classifier system. The system has been evaluated with accuracy, precision, recall and F-score metrics through holdout method and confusion matrix for each of the single classifiers, super-classifiers and finally the mega-super-classifier. The different performance evaluations are appreciable. Also the learning and the recognition time is fairly reasonable. Thereby making the system is efficient and effective.

In this paper, by managing the biometric data is changed with the passage of time, a systematic and scientifically propose a framework to increase the bio-vector generation efficiency of the smart health care. Increasing the development of human life as a medicine and has emerged smart health care according to this. Organic and efficient health management becomes possible to generate a vector when the biological domain to the wireless communication infrastructure based on the measurement of the health status and to take action in accordance with the change of the physical condition. In this paper, we propose a framework to create a bio-vector that contains information about the current state of health of the person. In the proposed framework, Bio vectors may be generated by collecting the biometric data such as blood pressure, pulse, body weight. Biometric data is the raw data from the bio-vector. The scope of the primary data can be set to active. As the collecting biometric data from multiple items of the bio-recognition vectors may increase. The resulting bio-vector is used as a measure to determine the current health of the person. Bio-vector generating the proposed framework, it can aid in the efficiency and systemic health of healthcare for the individual.

In modern society, in business decisions of our customers are continually increasing in importance, and owing to the development of information and communication technology effectively on a computer to measure the preferences of key customer techniques are being studied. However, this preference reflects significantly on personal ideas, and therefore, it is difficult to commercialize a measure calculated according to the ambiguous results. In this paper, by using biometric information that has been measure; we have configured the multi-sensitivity models based on customer preferences to evaluate the proposed system. This system consists of multiple biometric information of multi-dimensional vector model for learning through the use of structured emotional to apply the same criteria to evaluate customer preferences. In addition, by studying the specific subject-specific emotion model, it is shown to improve accuracy with further experiments.

Security of biometric data is particularly important as the compromise of the data will be permanent. To protect the biometric data, we need to store it in a non.invertible transformed version. Thus, even if the transformed version is compromised, its valid biometric data are securely remained. Fuzzy vault mechanism was proposed to provide cryptographic secure protection of critical data(e.g., encryption key) with the fingerprint data in a way that only the authorized user can access the critical data by providing the valid fingerprint. However, all the previous results cannot operate on the fingerprint image with a few minutiae, because they use fixed degree of the polynomial without considering the number of fingerprint minutiae. To solve this problem, we use adaptive degree of polynomial considering the number of minutiae. Also, we apply multiple polynomials to operate the fingerprint with a few minutiae. Based on the experimental results, we confirm that the proposed approach can enhance the security level and verification accuracy.

Blockchain technology provides distributed trust structure; with this, we can implement a system that cannot be forged and make Smart Contract possible. With blockchain technology emerging as next generation security technology, there have been studies on authentication and security services that ensure integrity. Although Internet-based services have been going with user authentication with password, the information can be stolen through a client and a network and the server is exposed to hacking. For the reason, we suggest blockchain technology and OTP based authentication mechanism to ensure integrity. In particular, the Two-Factor Authentication is able to ensure secure authentication by combining OTP authentication and biometric authentication without using password. As the suggested authentication applies multiple hash functions and generates transactions to be placed in blocks in order for biometric information not to be identified, it is protected from server attacks by being separate from the server.

Biometric recognition is a technology that determines whether a person is identified by extracting information on a person's biometric and behavioral characteristics with a specific device. Cyber threats such as forgery, duplication, and hacking of biometric characteristics are increasing in the field of biometrics. In response, the security system is strengthened and complex, and it is becoming difficult for individuals to use. To this end, multiple biometric models are being studied. Existing studies have suggested feature fusion methods, but comparisons between feature fusion methods are insufficient. Therefore, in this paper, we compared and evaluated the fusion method of multiple biometric models using fingerprint, face, and iris images. VGG-16, ResNet-50, EfficientNet-B1, EfficientNet-B4, EfficientNet-B7, and Inception-v3 were used for feature extraction, and the fusion methods of 'Sensor-Level', 'Feature-Level', 'Score-Level', and 'Rank-Level' were compared and evaluated for feature fusion. As a result of the comparative evaluation, the EfficientNet-B7 model showed 98.51% accuracy and high stability in the 'Feature-Level' fusion method. However, because the EfficietnNet-B7 model is large in size, model lightweight studies are needed for biocharacteristic fusion.
