Biometric Authentication Protocols on Smartphones
Martin Stokkenes, Raghavendra Ramachandra, Christoph Busch · 2016
As biometric authentication methods become more and more common in daily life we have seen an increased interest and developments of more convenient and secure authentication methods for online services. With biometrics enabled smartphones the cost associated with deploying biometric systems is removed and the opportunity for use in new applications is opened. However, with biometrics there are several challenges in terms of security and privacy that must be addressed. In this work we look at two emerging authentication protocols, FIDO Universal Authentication Framework and Biometric Open Protocol Standard, and analyze their security and privacy features from a biometrics perspective.
