A multibiometric access control architecture for continuous authentication

Abstract

In order to enhance security, biometrics has increasingly become part of access control architectures. Since some of unibiometrics' vulnerabilities have already shown up, they've been replaced or enhanced by multibiometrics. Also, continuous authentication processes have been considered an important security caution. In such a context, this paper presents an information security architecture for access control that aims to accomplish a high security level by adding multibiometrics and a continuous authentication process.
