E-authentication using chosen biometric characterstics

With the development of the Web and the services it provides to the end user one of the aspects one has to take in mind is the need for an account for each of its services. Until now the accounts used a username and password model for the user authentication but with the development of the biometric science and high-speed Internet there are other possibilities that provide a more secure solution. Instead of using username and password we can use behavioral or psychophysical biometrical characteristics to prove if the person is a legal or illegal user. Many today's computers or notebooks have fingerprint readers (usually on mouse) or have some cameras as an addition to standard IO (input/output) devices, keyboard and mouse. Using only these two characteristics a model for so called e-Authentication, based on multimodal biometrics systems, can be developed. This multimodal biometrics system can be supported by soft biometrical characteristics (like eye color or hair color) or some other biometrics system like keystroke dynamics. Possible applications include securing password managers, points of single logon etc. In this paper we described the development of multimodal biometrics system, called eBAWS (e- Biometric Authentication for Web Systems), based on standard IO devices based on keystroke dynamics, shape drawing, shape order and handwriting verification.
