Securing Encrypted Biometric Authentication With Multi-Factor Liveness Detection And One Time Passwords

Basic Multi-biometric Authentication System was thought to have sealed the vulnerabilities and escape route from cyber criminals, but emerging attack patterns have proved us wrong. In spite of their benefits, multi-biometric systems also have peculiar challenges especially circumvention of security strategy. Circumvention refers to how susceptible the system or the presented biometric trait is to spoof attacks and identity fraud. Liveness detection has long been applied as an anti-spoofing mechanism to checkmate spoofing, however its application approach has thrown up more vulnerabilities. We have adopted the Structured Systems Analysis and Design Methodology (SSADM) to assist us understand the weaknesses and propose a solution which integrates liveness detection to halt spoofing. In this seminar, we present a different approach to performing liveness detection in multi-biometric systems to significantly minimize the probability of circumvention and considerably strengthen the overall security strategy of the authentication process.
