Abstract. Two-factor authentication has been introduced in order to enhance security in authentication systems. Different factors have been introduced, which are combined for means of controlling access. The increasing demand for high security applications has led to a growing interest in biometrics. As a result several two-factor authentication systems are designed to include biometric authentication.In this work the risk of result distortion during performance evaluations of two-factor authentication systems including biometrics is pointed out. Existing approaches to two-factor biometric authentication systems are analyzed. Based on iris biometrics a case study is presented, which demonstrates the trap of untruly increasing recognition rates by introducing a second authentication factor to a biometric authentication system. Consequently, several requirements for performance evaluations of two-factor biometric authentication systems are stated.

Abstract. In this work we present a new technique for generating cryptographic keys out of iris textures implementing a key-generation scheme. In contrast to existing approaches to iris-biometric cryptosystems the proposed scheme does not store any biometric data, neither in raw nor in encrypted form, providing high secrecy in terms of template protection. The proposed approach is tested on a widely used database revealing key generation rates above 95%.

With their increasing popularity in cryptosystems, biometrics have attracted more and more attention from the information security community. However, how to handle the relevant privacy concerns remains to be troublesome. In this paper, we propose a novel security model to formalize the privacy concerns in biometric-based remote authentication schemes. Our security model covers a number of practical privacy concerns such as identity privacy and transaction anonymity, which have not been formally considered in the literature. In addition, we propose a general biometric-based remote authentication scheme and prove its security in our security model.
