A Multimodal Technique for an Embedded Fingerprint Recognizer in Mobile Payment Systems
2009
The development and the diffusion of distributed systems, directly connected to recent communication technologies, move people towards the era of mobile and ubiquitous systems. Distributed systems make merchant-customer relationships closer and more flexible, using reliable e-commerce technologies. These systems and environments need many distributed access points, for the creation and management of secure identities and for the secure recognition of users. Traditionally, these access points can be made possible by a software system with a main central server. This work proposes the study and implementation of a multimodal technique, based on biometric information, for identity management a…
An embedded iris recognizer for portable and mobile devices
2010
Software-intensive systems play an increasingly dominant role in our lives and daily activities. Several applications, in which a timely response to user and environment stimulus is essential, require real-time software intensive systems. Computation-intensive applications, such as video compression, control systems, security systems, result in significant growth for processor workload. To address the above issues, one possible solution is to design embedded specialized components. At the same time, the integration of new features in portable and mobile devices is rapidly increasing. Several services and applications require robust user authentication for access to services, data, and resou…
Privacy enhanced mutual authentication in LTE
2013
In this paper we propose a way to enhance the identity privacy in LTE/LTE-Advanced systems. This is achieved while minimizing the impact on the existing E-UTRAN system. This is important since proposals to modify a widely deployed infrastructure must be cost effective, both in terms of design changes and in terms of deployment cost. In our proposal, the user equipment (UE) identifies itself with a dummy identity, consisting only of the mobile nation code and the mobile network code. We use the existing signalling mechanisms in a novel way to request a special encrypted identity information element. This element is protected using identity-based encryption (IBE), with the home network (HPLMN…
