BioEVA: An evaluation tool for biometric algorithms

Abstract

This paper presents a tool, named BioEVA, to apply two forms of evaluation processes in biometric algorithms: comparative and qualitative. BioEVA has an internal engine that implements some metrics that we called quality parameters. We define some simple submission rules (protocol) must be followed before to submit a biometric algorithm to BioEVA's evaluation. The tool receives a biometric algorithm as a "black-box" and performs its automated evaluation. Using BioEVA, three biometric algorithms were evaluated: two based on static signatures and one based on keystroke dynamics. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2004.
