Scope
Cloud computing is a novel model of computing that provides shared processing resources, storage resources, and network resources on demand. Due to several advantages that lie with flexibility, mobility, and costs saving, the number of organizations that would adopt such a technology is expected to grow rapidly. Despite this, one of the main drawbacks of adopting such a solution lies with security related to individual’s authenticity. In the current approaches, the authentication process is based on traditional authentication methods such as passwords which would be easily stolen, accidentally revealed or hard to remember. Current researches show that biometrics is a promising candidate that would overcome said drawbacks. An example of a biometric system is RHU keystroke dynamics authentication system presented on the right that uses timings features for individuals’ authentication.
The scope of this research group is to develop novel biometrics-based authentication methods that would be used in cloud computing services. The evaluation of such biometrics solution would be also considered in order to increase the overall performance of such authentication systems.
