  • ICITST - Smartphone as a Biometric service for web authentication
    2016 11th International Conference for Internet Technology and Secured Transactions (ICITST), 2016
    Co-Authors: Regio A. Michelin, Avelino F. Zorzo, Márcia De Borba Campos, Alex M. S. Orozco
    Abstract:

    Authentication is a crucial solution to be considered for securing an application or user's personal data. It is a mechanism that plays a role to allow only the rightful user to access an application and the corresponding data, without allowing any kind of impersonation. To avoid this impersonation, Biometric mechanisms have been used to read some biological characteristic from the user. However, the extra hardware needed for reading the Biometric feature is usually a problem. Besides, in some scenarios, this will definitely avoid its adoption. Nonetheless, nowadays, this problem may be reduced since almost every adult person possesses a smartphone, which contains several sensors that can be used to read Biometric information from a user. This work proposes a mechanism to allow a smartphone to act as a Biometric Reader for different levels of task/data available in a web application. In order to bind a smartphone to a web application, we use QR-Code sent from a web server to a web client, which will have to be read by a smartphone and then be sent back to the web server, so the web server knows that the actual user is close to the web client. This paper also provides a discussion on how to evaluate the usability of the proposed mechanism.

  • Biometric Access to Training Devices as a Security Protocol in Flight Training
    Journal of Air Transport Studies, 2010
    Co-Authors: Brian G. Dillman, Renee Hendricks, Michael Petrelli, Stephen Elliott
    Abstract:

    Mechanical locks and keys are conventional access control devices utilized for both flight training devices and training aircraft, but keys can be copied, locks can be bypassed, and in the case of electronic flight training devices, unqualified instructors or students may utilize the equipment, possibly causing the equipment to fail. The faculty in the Aviation Technology Department at Purdue University performed this study to determine if Biometric usage is a feasible and secure method in operating a flight training device and eventually securing an actual aircraft versus the older lock and key method. A Finger-vein Biometric Reader was installed onto a Frasca Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD) and the software was installed such that identification had to be made prior to the program being able to initialize. The data collected from the survey includes information such as user interface issues and conditions which affect the failure reads such the placement of the flight instructor’s finger on the Biometric device.

  • A Trusted Biometric System
    2020
    Co-Authors: Liqun Chen, Siani Pearson, Athanasios Vamvakas
    Abstract:

    This technical report describes a method for Biometric identification based user authentication in distributed environments, which makes use of Trusted Platforms combined with Smart Cards and Trusted Biometric Readers for providing a trusted Biometric system. With this authentication method, a user can establish a trust relationship with a Biometric Reader (via integrity checking), and the user can trust that the system (incorporating both Reader and platform) will not disclose his or her sensitive Biometric information to any unauthorized entity. Such an approach can be applied, regardless of the type of Biometric Reader. It provides an alternative to integrating Biometric capture with Smart Cards, for example by providing a Biometric Reader actually on a Smart Card.
