Deception With Side Information in Biometric Authentication Systems

摘要

In this paper, we study the probability of successful deception of an uncompressed biometric authentication system with side information at the adversary. It represents the scenario where the adversary may have correlated side information, e.g., a partial finger print or a DNA sequence of a relative of the legitimate user. We find the optimal exponent of the deception probability by proving both the achievability and the converse. Our proofs are based on a connection between the problem of deception with side information and the rate distortion problem with side information at both the encoder and the decoder.
