Finger Vein Biometric Authentication: Accurate, Secure, and Contact Less Biometric Authentication - a Comparative Analysis

EasyChair Preprint no. 9155

Abstract

Biometric authentications like fingerprint, face recognition, iris recognition and finger vein recognition, as compared to username/password or RFID card-based authentication are convenient and secure authentication methods because it is impossible for a person to forget or lose his/her biological characteristics. In the current pandemic COVID-19 situation, a secure and contactless biometric authentication system’s need has been arising instead of a touch-based biometric authentication system. In this paper, we will try to find which biometric authentication system can be called “Accurate, secure and contactless biometric authentication” by discussing fingerprint, face recognition, iris recognition and finger vein recognition biometric authentication systems. The paper not only includes vulnerabilities, and protections but also the comparison of all these popular biometric methods, especially drawing attention to security and accuracy. In the conclusion, the comparative study indicates that finger vein authentication is the most accurate, secure and contactless authentication because finger vein authentication is able to detect the liveness of a person and it is impossible to make a copy of finger vein patterns.
