An ArmurMimus multimodal biometric system for Khosher authentication

Abstract

AbstractOne of the basic requirements of our modern day society is personal authentication. Biometric recognition should make a human‐like identity determination by identifying its physiological and/or behavioral characteristics. In comparison to traditional knowledge‐based approaches, biometric identification systems have the potential to bring benefits. However, because of the difficulties in extracting non‐class discriminative features, the lack of protection during storage of extracted features, and poor recognition accuracy, most frequently used biometric systems lack model protection and robustness. This research proposed a Mimus multimodal biometric system focused on the combination of multiple modalities and optimal level fusion of features to resolve these problems. Initially, the novel Blob‐funk method extracts the complementary non‐class discriminatory information among different modalities, which accomplishes the biometric data enrollment. Thus, it extracts the different properties by comparing surrounding regions based on finding the local maxima and minima of the function. After extracting the features, they need to be stored in a secure manner in a database. Therefore, the paper incorporates the new code block protection strategy to achieve an effectual protection of continuous monitoring via the generation of non‐invertible features, which is used to create the templates, thus storing them in a database. Finally, the novel Lucynomial logistic regression system incorporates user authentication and thus achieves greater recognition accuracy through estimation of threshold value with confrontation of spoof attacks. Hence, compared to the existing techniques such as SVM, PCA, and DBN, the outcome of the proposed work attains 97.53% accuracy, 0.020% FAR, 96.44% recall, and 97.85% precision, thus exemplifying the competence of the novel system.
