Abstract:
Biometric authentication is a popular method for in-formation security defense and access control. With the availa-bility of small computing Internet of Things (IoT) devices in con-junction with a hardware peripheral that is able to track hand geometry, multifactor authentication becomes cost-effective and mobile. The proposed system would attempt to authenticate sys-tem users by combining both a user’s hand geometry scan, along with a series of gestures while simultaneously using machine learning classification techniques for user classification. Can-celability will be insured with a novel steganography implemen-tation for user biometric information.
