What do the Cold Boot Crypto Attack, DVD Players, and MiFare tell us about the Future of Biometrics?

2008-03-26 00:16:43 by Erik T. Heidt in Art of Information Security
 
...biometrics In fact, I found the article to be rather upsetting. Not because of the articles thesis that strong authentication through a national ID program would not necessarily pose a threat to privacy; but rather, because of their naive (and irresponsible) handling of the realities of the biometric authentication challenge. They gloss over...

Biometrics in Identity Management Systems

2008-05-22 06:22:46 by Editor in IEEE Security and Privacy
 
Biometric technologythe automated recognition of individuals using biological and behavioral traitscan connect bodily persons to identity records to create a one-to-one correspondence between people and records, restricting people to one record or records to one person. They are a natural tool for identity management, but many suggest that...

...biometric readers). Further, many companies report user push-back: some end-users reject or express disdain for biometric authentication So, this begs the question: Is there a multifactor authentication method that is transparent to end-users? And the answer is, yes. The technology is referred to as keystroke dynamics, and it extends the...

"Prosthetic Biometrics": Microchips Under Your Skin

2007-02-09 00:00:00 by Ari Juels in Speaking of Security, the RSA Blog and Podcast
 
...biometric authentication--the security applications of fingerprint recognition, iris scanning, and so forth. A faculty member approached me afterward to ask why I was bothering. After all, wouldn't we all be surgically implanted with digital authentication devices in the not-too-distant future? I laughed at the idea of "prosthetic...

...Biometrics. My password is my finger print which is captured when I swipe my finger across the log-in portal. It's probably only a matter of time before they can have some kind of built-in biometric sensor that would know the difference between a thief and the real owner. If I had my way, I think I would like to have it give off a nice little...
