PROMOTING A SINGLE CARD DIGITAL IDENTITY THROUGH MULTI-MODAL BIOMETRIC RECOGNITION SYSTEM

摘要

ABSTRACT OF THE INVENTION Digital cards are widely acknowledged as one of the most secure and reliable forms of electronic identification. Combining digital card technology with biometric provides the positive binding of the smart card to the card holder thereby enabling strong verification and authentication of the cardholders identity. This technology makes use of an embedded integrated chip with a secure micro controller, high resolution camera, finger print scanner and iris scanner. Biometric features are extracted in multi resolution domain using texture descriptor which is used as digital identity. This digital identity is securely stored in the cloud environment using cryptographic techniques and also embedded in a digital card. During the testing phase, the biometric features are extracted from the person directly or the feature from digital card is used for verification purpose. In the proposed work, one can use the single card digital ID for authentication as well as to access all the e-services. The promotion of this approach is economic and reduces the access time to e-services. Hence, this kind of system is more essential for developing country like India.
