Assessing Vulnerabilities Of Biometric Readers Using An Applied Defeat Evaluation Methodology, David Brooks
Assessing Vulnerabilities Of Biometric Readers Using An Applied Defeat Evaluation Methodology, David Brooks
Australian Security and Intelligence Conference
Access control systems using biometric identification readers are becoming common within critical infrastructure and other high security applications. There is a perception that biometric, due to their ability to identify and validate the user, are more secure. However, biometric systems are vulnerable to many categories of attack vectors and there has been restricted research into such defeat vulnerabilities. This study expands on a past article (Brooks, 2009) that presented a defeat evaluation methodology applied to high-security biometric readers. The defeat methodology is represented, but applied to both fingerprint and back-of-hand biometric readers. Defeat evaluation included both physical and technical integrity …

As the requirement for companies and individuals to protect information and personal details comes more into focus, the implementation of security that goes beyond the ubiquitous password or Personal Identification Number (PIN) is paramount. With the ever growing number of us utilizing more than one device simultaneously, the problem and need is compounded. This paper proposes a novel approach to security that leverages the collective confidence of user identity held by the multiplicity of devices present at any given time. User identity confidence is reinforced by sharing established credentials between devices, enabling them to make informed judgments on their own …
