Folder Lock by Using Multimodal Biometric: Fingerprint and Signature Authentication
Norhaiza Ya Abdullah, Herny Ramadhani Mohd Husny Hamid · 2015
Lock folder is one of method that used to ensure nobody intentionally gets access to your private and confidential information. Presently used password based systems have a number of associated inconveniences and problems such as user needs to remember passwords, passwords can be guessed or broken down via brute force and also there is problem of non-repudiation. Besides, password authentication method as a keyword permission to access something is breakable. Hence, it can be leaked out and cracked by using any methods such as dictionary attack, or social engineering. Due to the drawback, this method is lack of universality of some characteristics and the recognition performance of the systems is upper limit and it is unacceptable error rates for the single modal authentication system. Multimodal biometric can be at least combination of two types of any physical or behavioral biometric as it applies in the system that has been developed. Therefore, a system is proposed to overcome the aforementioned problems by adding multimodal biometric authentication will provide another layer of security. Those problems encountered have being overcome and it is proven that by adding another layer of security as the authentication is more secure. It has been proved and has been tested that using combination of two biometric methods, fingerprint and signature as an authentication method is more secure and reliable.
