TL;DR: Hardware/software enhancements that include a generic set of custom instruction extensions to an embedded processor's instruction set architecture, a memory-aware software re-design, and fixed-point arithmetic are proposed that are generic enough to speed up many fingerprint matching algorithms and even other biometric algorithms.

Abstract: User authentication, which refers to the process of verifying the identity of a user, is becoming an important security requirement in various embedded systems. While conventional solutions for user authentication have relied on password-based mechanisms, they are increasingly being replaced by biometric technologies such as fingerprint, face, and voice recognition, which are known to provide higher levels of security for user authentication. This paper investigates the problem of supporting efficient fingerprint-based user authentication in embedded systems. For improving the performance of fingerprint-based authentication, we propose hardware/software enhancements that include a generic set of custom instruction extensions to an embedded processor's instruction set architecture, a memory-aware software re-design, and fixed-point arithmetic. We believe that the custom instruction set extensions proposed in this work are generic enough to speed up many fingerprint matching algorithms and even other biometric algorithms. Our experiments with an open-source, high-fidelity fingerprint authentication algorithm and a testbed featuring a commercial extensible processor show that performance is improved by a factor of 10.4X when using the proposed enhancements, while incurring modest overheads.

User Verification Leveraging Gait Recognition for Smartphone Enabled Mobile Healthcare Systems
TL;DR: This paper proposes a user verification system leveraging unique gait patterns derived from acceleration readings to detect possible user spoofing in mobile healthcare systems and shows that the framework can be implemented in two ways: user-centric and server-centric, and it is robust to not only random but also mimic attacks.

Web Content Access Using a Client Device Identifier
Craig S. Etchegoyen
- 10 Feb 2010
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a system for controlling access to online services, which includes an application running on a user computer (130) that collects platform data (e.g., physical device parameters) and generates a machine fingerprint (stage 602) and then sends the machine fingerprint to the authentication server (110) to associate the received machine fingerprint with the appropriate online account information received from a host server (120) or the like.
