Biometric Systems Utilising Health Data from Wearable Devices

Abstract

Health data is being increasingly sensed from the health-based wearable Internet of Things (IoT) devices, providing much-needed fitness and health tracking. However, data generated also presents opportunities within computer security, specifically w ith b iometric s ystems u sed f or i dentification an d authentication purposes. This paper performs a systematic review of health-based IoT data collected from wearable IoT technology. This involved performing research in the underlying data sources, what they are collected for in terms of their health monitoring, and the underlying data characteristics. Furthermore, it explores existing work in computer security using these data sources, identifying key themes of work, key limitations and challenges. Finally, key opportunities are provided as summaries to the potential of health-based IoT data, highlighting challenges that are yet to be addressed, which motivate areas of future work.

The Role of Biometric in Banking: A Review

“…Furthermore, the study concludes that while biometric recognition systems effectively address the limitations of traditional methods, it is important to consider potential challenges arising from the continuous evolution of biometric technology [1]. Khan et al (2020) Involved in a separate endeavor that aimed to comprehend health data derived from wearable IoT technology. The team conducted an extensive review, discussion, and offered recommendations on utilizing this data as a biometric for computer security purposes.…”

“…The team conducted an extensive review, discussion, and offered recommendations on utilizing this data as a biometric for computer security purposes. Several limitations were identified, including the ever-changing characteristics of the human body, sensor aging and deterioration, difficulties in selecting an appropriate population for biometric system assessment, sensor cost, effects on accuracy, lack of standardized techniques, and the inadequate security measures prevalent in biometric systems [2]. M. Gayathri et al (2020) Conduct a comprehensive survey on the current state of biometric technology, covering various aspects such as different types of biometric traits, the techniques employed for extracting these traits' features, and the diverse application areas where various biometric traits find utility.…”

BIOWISH: Biometric Recognition Using Wearable Inertial Sensors Detecting Heart Activity

“…Biometric systems relying on such traits can also guarantee improved security, due to the fact that the recorded characteristics typically cannot be captured remotely, inherently provide liveness detection, and can be also examined to infer about the mental and emotional states of an individual, providing the means to detect compulsion attacks [7]. Moreover, since the acquisition of the interested traits can be done at any time and any place, wearable biometric systems can perform continuous recognition, meaning that the identity of a user can be verified throughout the duration of a session, preventing hijacking and avoiding attackers' unauthorized access after an initial successful recognition [8].…”

Dynamic Assembly of Strong and Conductive Carbon Nanotube/Nanocellulose Composite Filaments and Their Application in Resistive Liquid Sensing

“…The evolution of modern electronics toward miniaturization and flexibility becomes an essential aspect of the information and communication technology industry. In particular, the rapid proliferation of ever smarter and more feature-rich wearable devices is expected to have a significant impact upon most personal and business sectors, such as healthcare, sports, fashion, transportation, security, gaming, and infotainment. − The global market for flexible electronics was estimated at $15.7 billion in 2020 and is projected to reach a revised size of $44.8 billion by 2026, growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 18.6% during the forecasted period . However, without a sustainable design strategy, wearable electronics might just become another category of mass-consumed products contributing to global resource depletion.…”
