A KNOWLEDGE-BASED DISTRIBUTED BIOMETRIC AUTHENTICATION ENTITY MECHANISM

摘要

The Semantic Web is being constructed as one of the most prolific technologies for its application in knowledge-based systems. Its application to user identity authentication or verification using biometric traits by means of BAE (Biometric Accreditation Entities) could drive this technology to the next phase. Unfortunately, system scalability is not yet one of its main breakthroughs. This paper proposes a new system based on a distributed architecture to face the performance needed when large information storages are handled. This provides a scalable, reliable and distributed platform to integrate the lattice of biometric identity data widely distributed both across the Internet and within individual organizations.
