WORLDWIDE AUTHENTICATION AND TRACKING: A SECURED MOBILE PAYMENT SYSTEM IMPLEMENTED USING A BIOMETRICS APPROACH

摘要

The significant market growth of mobile commercernbrings challenges for both individuals and society. Inrnorder to address some of these challenges we implementrnan efficient biometric mobile payment authorizationrnsystem combined with an embedded commercial barcodernreader to provide a worldwide platform-independentrnmobile payment authentication and tracking system. Tornuse this mobile agent, customers only require a mobilernphone or PDA with an embedded VGA (640 pixel*480rnpixel) size camera for capturing commercial barcodes andrnpersonnel iris images. The algorithm used in our mobilernbiometrics identification (MBI) system is especiallyrndesigned for low-power computing devices. Pixelrnoriented methods are implemented in our algorithms tornfacilitate this low-power computing application. As arnresult, a standard VGA sized iris image could be verifiedrnwithin 100 ms, and the barcode reader could decode thern1-Dimensional or 2-Dimensional barcode in real time andrnprovide the detailed product information and paymentrnrequirements via a network connection. This combinationrnof label reading and user identity authentication providesrna powerful tool for secure m-commerce applications.
