Cryptographic Algorithm Designed by Extracting Brainwave Patterns

Abstract

A new authentication method based on EEG signal is proposed here. Biometric features such as fingerprint scanning, facial recognition, iris scanning, voice recognition, and even brainwave patterns can be used for authentication methods. Brainwave patterns, also known as brain biometrics, can be captured using technologies like electroencephalography (EEG) to authenticate a user based on their unique brain activity. This method is still in the research phase and is not yet commonly used for authentication purposes. Extracting EEG features for authentication typically involves signal processing techniques to analyze the brainwave patterns. Here, a method based on statistics for extracting EEG features is designed to extract meaningful information and patterns from the brainwave data for various applications, including authentication, brain–computer interface systems, and neurofeedback training.
