Incessant and Transparent User Identity Verification for Secure Internet Services using Continuous Authentication Protocol

Abstract

Security of the web based services is become serious concern now a days. Secure user authentication is very important and fundamental in most of the systems. In web applications, user authentication is normally based on username and password, come forth biometric solutions allow biometric data during session establishment. But in Unimodal biometric approaches only use a single verification is considered and the identity of the user is permanent during the entire session. A secure protocol is defined for constant authentication through continuous user verification. Biometric techniques suggest solution for secure, trusted and protected authentication. The user’s identity has been verified, the system resources are available for fixed period of time and identity of the user is constant during entire session. The proposed system detects misuses of computer resources and prevents malicious activities based on multi-modal biometric continuous authentication. Biometric and user information’s are stored in smart phones and web services.
