Biometrics in cyber defense

Abstract

Biometric identification is an up and coming authentication method. The growing complexity of and overlap between smart devices, usability patterns and security risks make a strong case for securer and safer user authentication. This paper aims to offer a broad literature review on iris recognition and biometric cryptography to better understand current practices, propose possible future enhancements and anticipate possible future usability and security developments.
