Practical multi-factor biometric remote authentication

Abstract

In this paper, we evaluate the security properties of multi-factor biometric authentication (MFBA) and define the notion of User Privacy, where the biometrics is assumed as a set of features that can be either ordered or unordered depending on the biometric modality. We propose efficient schemes for MFBA, which do not incorporate secure sketches, thus, different template extraction methods are applicable. We formally describe the security model for MFBA, where the computations are performed in the encrypted domain but without requiring a decryption key for the authentication decision. Thus, leakage of the secret key of any system component does not affect the security of the scheme as opposed to the current biometric systems involving cryptographic techniques.

Feasibility of Implementing Multi-factor Authentication Schemes in Mobile Cloud Computing

“…There are some authentication algorithms, which are proposed to be used in mobile devices. To improve the security of mobile device's users, some researchers recommended adding second factor of authentication [31][32][33][34][35][36]. In the following part, different kinds of these kinds of algorithms are introduced to get some ideas to use these authentication methods in mobile cloud computing is discussed.…”
