Authenticated private information retrieval

Bryan Alexander Ford, Henry Nathaniel Corrigan-Gibbs, Kirill Nikitin, Simone Maria Stefano Colombo

This paper introduces protocols for authenticated private information retrieval. These schemes enable a client to fetch a record from a remote database server such that (a) the server does not learn which record the client reads, and (b) the client either ...

Generating Master Faces for Use in PerformingWolf Attacks on Face Recognition Systems

Sébastien Marcel

Due to its convenience, biometric authentication, especial face authentication, has become increasingly mainstream and thus is now a prime target for attackers. Presentation attacks and face morphing are typical types of attack. Previous research has shown ...

BioLocker: A Practical Biometric Authentication Mechanism based on 3D Fingervein

Serge Vaudenay, Fatma Betül Durak, Loïs Evan Huguenin-Dumittan

We design a consecution of protocols which allows organizations to have secure strong access control of their users to their desktop machines based on biometry. It provides both strong secure authentication and privacy. Moreover, our mechanism allows the s ...

Keystroke Biometrics Ongoing Competition

Sébastien Marcel, André Anjos

This paper presents the first Keystroke Biometrics Ongoing Competition (KBOC) organized to establish a reproducible baseline in person authentication using keystroke biometrics. The competition has been developed using the BEAT platform and includes one of ...

Method for Generating an HTML Document that Contains Encrypted Files and the Code Necessary for Decrypting Them When a Valid Passphrase is Provided

Radhakrishna Achanta, Thomas Lochmatter

A computer implemented method for encrypting one or more files and wrapping them in an HTML document. The HTML document contains the encrypted files, the necessary code to decrypt the files, as well as user interface code to receive a passphrase input from ...

Session variability modelling for face authentication

Sébastien Marcel, Laurent El Shafey

This study examines session variability modelling for face authentication using Gaussian mixture models. Session variability modelling aims to explicitly model and suppress detrimental within-class (inter-session) variation. The authors examine two techniq ...

Cross-pollination of normalisation techniques from speaker to face authentication using Gaussian mixture models

Sébastien Marcel

This paper applies score and feature normalization techniques to parts-based Gaussian mixture model (GMM) face authentication. In particular, we propose to utilize techniques that are well established in state-of-the-art speaker authentication, and apply t ...

Bayesian networks as generative models for face recognition

In this thesis, we address the problem of face modelling by using dedicated statistical generative models, with an application to the face authentication task. Face authentication consists in either accepting or rejecting a user's claim supported by its fa ...

User-Aided Data Authentication

Sylvain Pasini

All classical authentication protocols are based on pre-shared authentic information such as long-term secret keys or a public key infrastructure. However, there are many practical settings, where participants can additionally employ authentic Out-Of-Band ...

Person Authentication using Brainwaves (EEG) and Maximum A Posteriori Model Adaptation

José del Rocio Millán Ruiz, Sébastien Marcel

In this paper, we investigate the use of brain activity for person authentication. It has been shown in previous studies that the brain-wave pattern of every individual is unique and that the electroencephalogram (EEG) can be used for biometric identificat ...

On the Recent Use of Local Binary Patterns for Face Authentication

Sébastien Marcel, Yann Rodriguez

This paper presents a survey on the recent use of Local Binary Patterns (LBPs) for face recognition. LBP is becoming a popular technique for face representation. It is a non-parametric kernel which summarizes the local spacial structure of an image and it ...

Multi-system biometric authentication : optimal fusion and user-specific information

Norman Hoon Thian Poh

Verifying a person's identity claim by combining multiple biometric systems (fusion) is a promising solution to identity theft and automatic access control. This thesis contributes to the state-of-the-art of multimodal biometric fusion by improving the und ...

About Machine-Readable Travel Documents

Serge Vaudenay, Martin Vuagnoux, Jean Monnerat

Passports are now equipped with RFID chips that contain private information, biometric data, and a digital signature by issuing authorities. We review most of applicable security and privacy issues. We argue that the main privacy issue is not unauthorized ...

Face authentication based on local features and generative models

The principal objective of this thesis is to investigate approaches toward a robust automatic face authentication (AFA) system in weakly constrained environments. In this context, we develop new algorithms based on local features and generative models. In ...

A Protection Scheme for MoC-Enabled Smart Cards

Serge Vaudenay

The concept of Match-on-Card (MoC) consists of a smart card which receives an applicant's candidate template T to be compared with the stored reference template T_ref by processing the complete matching algorithm during a biometric authentication request. ...

Using Chimeric Users to Construct Fusion Classifiers in Biometric Authentication Tasks: An Investigation

Samy Bengio, Norman Hoon Thian Poh

Chimeric users have recently been proposed in the field of biometric person authentication as a way to overcome the problem of lack of real multimodal biometric databases as well as an important privacy issue -- the fact that too many biometric modalities ...
