• Abstract summary: Biometric user authentication (and identification) is rapidly becoming ubiquitous. Modern approaches to biometric authentication, based on machine learning techniques, cannot avoid storing either trained-classifier details or explicit user biometric data. We introduce a secure way to handle user-specific information involved with the use of vector-space classifiers or artificial neural networks for biometric authentication.

• Abstract: Powered by new advances in sensor development and artificial intelligence, the decreasing cost of computation, and the pervasiveness of handheld computation devices, biometric user authentication (and identification) is rapidly becoming ubiquitous. Modern approaches to biometric authentication, based on sophisticated machine learning techniques, cannot avoid storing either trained-classifier details or explicit user biometric data, thus exposing users' credentials to falsification. In this paper, we introduce a secure way to handle user-specific information involved with the use of vector-space classifiers or artificial neural networks for biometric authentication. Our proposed architecture, called a Neural Fuzzy Extractor (NFE), allows the coupling of pre-existing classifiers with fuzzy extractors, through a artificial-neural-network-based buffer called an expander, with minimal or no performance degradation. The NFE thus offers all the performance advantages of modern deep-learning-based classifiers, and all the security of standard fuzzy extractors. We demonstrate the NFE retrofit to a classic artificial neural network for a simple scenario of fingerprint-based user authentication.

  Spiking neural networks have become an important family of neuron-based models that sidestep many of the key limitations facing modern-day backpropagation-trained deep networks. In this work, we design and investigate a proof-of-concept instantiation of contrastive-signal-dependent plasticity (CSDP), a neuromorphic form of forward-forward-based, backpropagation-free learning.

  Fingerprints, iris and retina patterns, facial recognition, hand shapes, palm prints, and voice recognition are frequently used forms of biometrics. For systems to be effective and widely accepted, the error rate in recognition and verification must approach zero. Artificial Neural Networks, which simulate the human brain's operations, present themselves as a promising approach.

  We improve initial studies on the use of vision transformers (ViT) for biometric recognition, including fingerprint recognition. We propose a realignment strategy using local embeddings extracted from intermediate feature maps within the networks to refine the global embeddings in low certainty situations. This strategy can be applied as a wrapper to any existing deep learning network (including attention-based, CNN-based, or both) to boost its performance.

  GaitPrivacyON is a novel mobile gait biometrics verification approach that provides accurate authentication results while preserving the sensitive information of the subject.

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first mobile gait verification approach that considers privacy-preserving methods trained in an unsupervised way.
