5. Beyond Previous Work
Our study is the continuation of three previous research groups
Our team’s goal was to increase the number of survey responses
Produced a video demonstrating enrolling and authenticating using facial and speaker recognition.
Distributed Survey
Increase the number of female responders
Get greater female participation in the RecoMadeEasy® study was requested
Demonstrate multilingual capabilities
Demonstrate the “liveness” feature
Our study is a continuation of three previous research groups. Our team wanted to gather data from a broader and more diverse demographic. Not only did we want to increase the overall number of surveys, but we also wanted to increase the number of female respondents and participants, as well as demonstrate the use of multi-lingual capabilities and the liveness feature.

We had a total of 6 participants, 2 males and 4 females (myself and Nattakarn and 2 volunteers) Of the 4 females, 3 of which were bilingual. We had a participant enroll in spanish and authenticate in spanish, one enroll in thai and authenticate in english, one enroll in english and authenticate in russian, and one enroll in english and authenticate in english.

7. Liveness Test RecoMadeEasy® system generates a string of text.
Unless the generated text is recited exactly, the user will not authenticate.
Our testing included intentional failures to check against false acceptance.
When testing for liveness, the biometric system displayed a string of text. If the user was not able to recite the text exactly as displayed on the screen, he was not able to successfully authenticate. The test also included intentional failures to check against false acceptance.

8. Survey Results 204 ? Increased female participation
More than half are interested in using Biometrics in home
Increased female participation
THERE WERE
204
PARTICIPANTS
AGE BETWEEN
Less than one-third currently using biometrics for mobile devices ?
Over 75% are comfortable using Biometrics for banking
One-half feel privacy and security are equally important
Favorable comfort level for both IT and Non-IT related fields

10. Using Biometric for Accessing Computer/Mobile Device
Facial Recognition
Speaker Recognition

11. Study Results
On a scale of 1-10, more than 75% of participants rated the biometric system as being easy to use and roughly 75% of participants rated the biometric system as being convenient.

12. Conclusions and Future Work
The overall perception is the biometric system is both easy to use and convenient
Concerns with how deviations in voice will impact the authentication process
Concerns with authentication in high-traffic areas
Hygiene concerns with touching a device
Multi-language increases versatility
Greater testing for spoofing circumventions
Impacts on those with disabilities and impairments

13. Palm Vein Scanner by Fujitsu
Why Vein patterns recognition?
Hygienic concern for Contactless authentication.
Promote high-level of user acceptance.
High level of accuracy and application versatility.
