Recently, digital doorlock systems have been employing biometric recognition and smartphone as personal authentification means. The performance of a digital doorlock system is determined by the two conflicting indices such as security and convenience. This paper proposes and implements one grip based doorpull shaped doorlock systems using fingerprint and touch sensor grip pattern. The proposed system sequentially performs fingerprint recognition and grip pattern identification when a user grips the doorpull in order to open the door. This method so called 'One Grip' is considered to enhance security while maintaining users' convenience. We expect the proposed method can solve the phone missing problem encountered in developing smart doorlock systems based on smartphones.

In this paper, a drunk driving prevention system was implemented to measure drunk driving before starting to prevent drunk driving accidents caused by complacency after drinking. In order to prevent a situation in which a driver but not a driver authenticates instead of a driver, the identification means was strengthened and the alcohol sensor was implemented to operate when the wind sensor measured above the set value set. Through this system, the driver's alcohol measurement process was strengthened. Sensors were determined through various experiments, and finally, when the alcohol concentration was 0.03% or more, the DC motor was stopped and the vehicle was designed to be unable to operate, thereby implementing a system in which drunk driving was prevented in advance.

This paper aims at faster processing and retrieval in fingerprint identification systems by reducing the amount of preprocessing and the size of the feature vector. The distribution of fingerprint directions is a set of local directions of ridges and furrows in small overlapped blocks in a fingerprint image. It is extracted initially as a set of 8-direction components through the Gabor filter bank. The discontinuous distribution of directions is smoothed to a continuous one and visualized as a direction image. Then the center of the distribution is selected as a reference point. A feature vector is composed of 192 sine values of the ridge angles at 32-equiangular positions with 6 different distances from the reference point in the direction image. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm performs the same level of correct identification as a conventional algorithm does, while speeding up the overall processing significantly by reducing the length of the feature vector.

To improve reliability and practicality, a fingerprint-based biometric system needs to be robust to rotations of an input fingerprint and the processing speed should be fast. Accordingly, this paper presents a new filterbank-based fingerprint feature extraction and matching method that is robust to diverse rotations and reasonably fast. The proposed method fast extracts fingerprint features using a directional filter bank, which effectively decomposes an image into several subband outputs Since matching is also performed rapidly based on the Euclidean distance between the corresponding feature vectors, the overall processing speed is so fast. To make the system robust to rotations, the proposed method generates a set of feature vectors considering various rotations of an input fingerprint and then matches these feature vectors with the enrolled single template feature vector. Experimental results demonstrated the high speed of the proposed method in feature extraction and matching, along with a comparable verification accuracy to that of other leading techniques.

This paper proposes an algerian of generating a tuner-template from multiple fingerprint impressions using a data fusion technique for fingerprint enrollment. The super-template is considered as a single fingerprint template which contains most likely true minutiae based on multiple fingerprint images. The proposed algorithm creates the super template by utilizing a recursive Bayesian estimation method (RBEM), which assumes a sequential fingerprint input model and estimates the credibility of the minutiae in previous input templates froma current input template. Consequently. the RBEM assigns a higher credibility to commonly detectable minutiae from several input templates and a lower credibility to rarely found minutiae from other input templates. Likewise, the RBEM is able to estimate a credibility of the minutia type (ridge ending or bifurcation). Preliminary experiments demonstrate that, as the number of fingerfrint images increases, the performance of recognition can be improved while maintaining the processing time and the size of memory storage for tile super-template almost constant.

The increase in user data stored in the device implies the increase in threats of users' sensitive data. Currently, smartphone authentication mechanisms such as Pattern Lock, fingerprint recognition are widely used. Although, there exist disadvantages of inconvenience use and dependence that users need to depend on their own memory. User behavior based authentication mechanism have advantages of high convenience by offering continuous authentication when using the mobile device. However, these mechanisms show limitations on low accuracy of authentication and there are researches to improve the accuracy. This paper proposes improved authentication mechanism that uses user's smartphone application usage pattern which has not considered on earlier studies. Also, we analyze performance of proposed mechanism with collected datasets from actual use of smartphone applications.

기존의 물리적 인증도구를 이용한 방식이나 패스워드 인증 방식은 분실, 도난, 해킹 등에 취약점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 지문, 서명, 홍채, 음성, 얼굴 등을 이용한 생체 인식기술을 보안 기술로 적용하려는 연구가 진행중이며 일부는 실용화도 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 최근 널리 보급되어 있는 임베디드 시스템중의 하나인 PDA에 음성 기술을 이용한 내장형 화자 인증기를 구현하였다. 화자 인증기는 음성기술에서 널리 사용되고 있는 벡터 양자화 기술과 은닉 마코프 모델 기술을 사용하였으며, PDA의 하드웨어적인 제약 사항을 고려하여 사용되는 벡터 코드북을 두 가지로 다르게 하여 각각 구현하였다. 처음은 코드북을 화자 등록시에 발성음만을 이용하여 생성하고 화자인증 시에 이용하는 방법이며, 다른 하나는 대용량의 음성 데이터베이스를 이용하여 코드북을 사전에 생성하여 이를 화자 인증시에 이용하는 방법이다. 화자인증기의 성능평가는 5명의 화자가 10번씩 5개의 단어에 대하여 실험하여, 각각 화자종속 코득북을 이용한 인증기는 88.8%, 99.5%, 화자독립 코드북을 이용한 인증기는 85.6%, 95.5%의 인증율과 거절율을 보였으며, 93.5%와 90.0%의 평균 확률을 보였다.. 실험을 통하여 화자독립 인증기의 경우가 화자종속 인증기의 경우보다 낮은 인식율을 보였지만, 화자종속 인증기에서 나타나는 코드북 훈련시에 발생하는 메모리 문제를 해결 할 수 있었다.

The growth in smartphone service has given rise to an increase in frequency and importance of authentication. Existing smartphone authentication mechanisms such as passwords, pattern lock and fingerprint recognition require a high level of awareness and authenticate users temporarily with a point-of-entry techniques. To overcome these disadvantages, there have been active researches in behavior-based authentication. However, previous studies focused on enhancing the accuracy of the authentication. Since authentication is directly used by people, it is necessary to reflect actual users' perception. This paper proposes user perception on behavior-based authentication with feature analysis. We conduct user survey to empirically understand user perception regarding behavioral authentication with selected authentication features. Then, we analyze acceptance of the behavioral authentication to provide continuous authentication with minimal awareness while using the device.
