Biometrics for Security in Bluetooth Environment (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783639171853)

Over the past couple of decades, there has been a significant change in the way people use internet and wireless connections. Not only are they being used for information gathering and connectivity, but also for financial transactions and bill payments. Bluetooth has emerged as a popular wireless communication protocol. With the growing ease of communications, the threat posed by hackers and impostors has also increased. There is an urgent need to protect privacy of the users at all levels. Biometrics authentication has proved to be one of the most robust security implementation systems. This book tries to combine the biometrics system with Bluetooth protocol for a secure wireless connection. The book describes a unique approach for utilizing extracted fingerprint features, into Bluetooth pairing key. Based on translational and rotational invariant features, this book discusses a system for inter-sample and intra-sample fingerprint recognition, based on a threshold value. This threshold value was a derivative of Bluetooth pairing key data developed from the biometrics data. Also the book should serve as a reference for Bluetooth and Biometrics study.
