Micro Disposable Biometric Authentication: An Application Using Fingernail Minute Textures for Nonsensitive Services

Abstract

Recently, biometric authentication has been applied to not only sensitive services such as in emigration/ immigration inspection systems and ATMs but also nonsensitive services such as entry/exit management systems of theme parks or coin lockers. However, biometric authentication requirements for sensitive and nonsensitive services differ; each service requires suitable biometric authentications. In this paper, disposable micro biometric authentication using minute fingernail texture for nonsensitive biometric authentication is proposed.
