Usability of Visual Evoked Potentials as Behavioral Characteristics for Biometric Authentication
VEP, biometrics, authentication
Biometric authentication methods are one of three approaches currently used. They
offer a lot of benefits as well as they have few disadvantages. One of these
disadvantages is low level of flexibility. It's not possible to change your
biometric characteristic or even to increase number of your characteristics. This
could be problem if we consider many systems with different level of security.
Corruption of system with low level of security could help attacker to gain
access to system with higher level of security. Solution of this problem could
lie in use of behavioral biometric. The article introduces challenge-response
approach in this area. We discuss possibilities of challenge-response biometric
authentication and how new behavioral biometric suitable for this approach -
visual evoked potentials. We give description of physiological features of this
characteristic, discuss this properties and usability. We try to answer the
question if it's suitable only for liveness testing or it's possible to use it
for full authentication. Further we present design of prototype
challenge-response biometric authentication system which takes advantage of
visual evoked potentials.
