Wireless Sensors Network’s (WSN) security is a critical concern owing to their unattended and intimidating distribution. Providing authentication to these networks with limited resources is a challenging task. Biometric based user authentication schemes with light computations and easy operations provide potential solutions. Several unimodal biometric techniques are proposed to secure WSN. Unimodal is susceptible to limited accuracy and spoofing. However, Multimodal biometric technology offers greater security. This paper proposes an algorithm combining fingerprint and iris biometric features for authentication. Registration and authentication processes using limited resources that are available at the WSN nodes are implemented. Experimentation results calculate computational overhead and are compared with existing methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
