Multi-layered multimodal biometric authentication for smartphone devices

Abstract

As technological advances in smartphone domain increase, so are the issues that pertain to security and privacy. In current literature, multimodal biometric approach is addressed at length (for banks as an example) to improve secured access into personal devices. However, personal devices currently do not support enforcing multilayered access to its different domains/regions of data. In this paper, a multilayered multimodal biometric approach using three biometric methods (such as fingerprint, face and voice) is proposed for smartphones. It is shown that fusion of biometric methods can be layered to enforce private data security on smartphone. The experimental results are presented.
