Abstract

In recent years, biometric, or "who you are," authentication has grown rapidly in acceptance and use. Biometric authentication offers users the convenience of not having to carry a password, PIN, smartcard, etc. Instead, users will use their inherent biometric traits for authentication and, as a result, risk their biometric information being stolen. The security of users' biometric information is of critical importance within a biometric authentication scheme as compromised data can reveal sensitive information: race, gender, illness, etc. A cancellable biometric scheme, the "BioCapsule" scheme, proposed by researchers from Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis, aims to mask users' biometric information and preserve users' privacy. The BioCapsule scheme can be easily embedded into existing biometric authentication systems, and it has been shown to preserve user-privacy, be resistant to several types of attacks, and have minimal effects on biometric authentication system accuracy. In this research we present a facial authentication system which employs several cutting-edge techniques. We tested our proposed system on several face databases, both with and without the BioCapsule scheme being embedded into our system. By comparing our results, we quantify the effects the BioCapsule scheme, and its security benefits, have on the accuracy of our facial authentication system.
