- Title
A SURVEY OF BIOMETRICS FOR WEARABLE DEVICES.
- Authors
Cornelius, Cory; Gutierrez, Christopher N.
- Abstract
Biometrics are characteristics about ourselves that we use to recognize each other. Whether it is the structure of our face or the way we walk, we can measure these physiological or behavioral signals and use statistical methods to distinguish amongst users. Rather than "something you know"-as in traditional password-based authentication systems-these biometric-based methods enable systems to authenticate you based on "something you are." In this survey we describe the current state-of-the-art of biometric techniques and evaluate their use in authentication systems with a particular focus on client devices and emerging wearable devices. We examine the academic literature and commercial offerings of biometrics and summarize each biometrics' utility over a variety of criteria and provide guidance for their use in client and wearable devices.
