Abstract


With the development of the Web and its services it provides to the end user one of the aspects one has to take in mind is the need for an account for each of its services. Until now the accounts used a username/password model for the authentication but with the development of biometric sciences and high-speed Internet there are other possibilities that provide a more secure solution. Instead of using username/password we can use behavioral or psychophysical biometrics characteristics to prove is person legal or illegal user. Many today's computers or notebooks have fingerprint readers (usually on mouse) or have some cameras. Using only these two characteristics a model for so called E-authentication, based on multimodal biometrics systems, can be developed. This multimodal biometrics system can be supported by soft biometrics characteristics (like eye color or hair color) or some other biometrics system like keystroke dynamics. Possible applications include securing password managers, points of single logon etc. In this paper we described developing of multimodal biometrics system based on fingerprint and face recognition system for E-authentication model.
