“…Despite this, existing studies in the literature are very few in comparison with performance ones. However, most of the studies in this area are modality-dependent (such as the usability study presented by Theofanos et al (2008a)). In addition, these studies are based on statistical answers to a questionnaire, but no data analysis is conducted for understanding respondents' answers to identify reasons.…”

“…Limited research has focused on usability issues relating to how users perceive and use biometric systems. However, most of the studies in this area are modality-dependent (such as the usability study presented by Theofanos et al (2008a)). Hence, it could not be applied to any kind of biometric system.…”

“…2% of participants have expressed concerns about the cleanliness of the devices with which they would have physical contact. Another study has been done by NIST to examine the impact on fingerprint capture performance of angling the fingerprint scanners (flat, 10, 20 and 30 degrees) on the existing counter heights (99, 114.3 and 124.5 cm) as is presented in Theofanos et al (2008a).…”

This paper presents a modality-independent evaluation methodology to study users' acceptance and satisfaction of biometric systems. It uses a survey questionnaire for data collection, and some data-mining tools for their analysis. We have applied it on two biometric systems developed in our research laboratory. The results from this survey show the necessity of taking users' point of view when designing and evaluating biometric systems. A panel of 100 volunteers was more satisfied from the keystroke system than the face one. Users surprisingly considered that its perceived performance was also better, even if the used face system has a better performance with an EER of 8.76% than the keystroke one with an EER of 17.51%. The robustness of a system against attacks, computation time required during the verification phase and its easiness to use have been identified as important factors influencing their opinions regarding the tested systems.

“…It was designed to collect demographic, experiential and attitudinal characteristics that might have an impact on or a relationship to respondents' views on the use of biometrics. The survey takes into account other works in the field done by NIST [13], NCR [25], ORC [14], Atos origin [26] and other works presented in [27], [20], [19], [21]. It also noted unsolicited questions that we found it valuable when collecting the GREYC-Keystroke database [28].…”

International audienceBiometric authentication methods are being increasingly used for many types of applications. Since such methods necessitate humans to interact with a device, effective implementation requires consideration of the perceptions and responses of end users. Towards this goal, we present in this paper a modalityindependent evaluation methodology to study users' acceptance and satisfaction of biometric systems. It is based on the use of a questionnaire and some data mining tools for the analysis. We have applied it on two biometric systems developed in our research laboratory. The results from this study demonstrated that users' satisfaction analysis should be more taken into account when developing biometric systems. A significant panel of 70 users was more satisfied from the keystroke system than the other one. Users surprisingly considered that its perceived performance was also better even if the used face system has a better performance with an EER of 8.76% than the keystroke one with an EER of 17.51%. The robustness of a system against attacks and its perceived trust have been identified as important factors to take into account when designing biometric systems. Results have also demonstrated significant relationships between demographic factors and their perception about the biometric technology and the studied systems

New Trends and Developments in Biometrics

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

International audienceBiometrics is considered as a promising solution among traditional methods based on "what we own" (such as a key) or "what we know" (such as a password). It is based on "what we are" and "how we behave". Few people know that biometrics have been used for ages for identification or signature purposes. In 1928 for example, fingerprints were used for women clerical employees of Los Angeles police department as depicted in Figure 1. Fingerprints were also already used as a signature for commercial exchanges in Babylon (-3000 before JC). Alphonse Bertillon proposed in 1879 to use anthropometric information for police investigation. Nowadays, all police forces in the world use this kind of information to resolve crimes. The first prototypes of terminals providing an automatic processing of the voice and digital fingerprints have been defined in the middle of the years 1970. Nowadays, biometric authentication systems have many applications [1]: border control, e-commerce, etc. The main benefits of this technology are to provide a better security, and to facilitate the authentication process for a user. Also, it is usually difficult to copy the biometric characteristics of an individual than most of other authentication methods such as passwords. Despite the obvious advantages of biometric systems, their proliferation was not as much as attended. The main drawback is the uncertainty of the verification result. By contrast to password checking, the verification of biometric raw data is subject to errors and represented by a similarity percentage (100% is never reached). Others drawbacks related to vulnerabilities and usability issues exist. In addition, in order to be used in an industrial context, the quality of a biometric system must be precisely quantified. We need a reliable evaluation methodology in order to put into obviousness the benefit of a new biometric system. Moreover, many questions remain: Shall we be confident in this technology? What kind of biometric modalities can be used? What are the trends in this domain? The objective of this chapter is to answer these questions, by presenting an evaluation methodology of biometric systems
