Abstract

Gait-based biometric systems using smart phones have been developed to replace traditional authentication. It is significantly important to improve the security of the gait-based biometric systems. Systems include both fields of cryptography which provides high security levels of data and gait- based biometrics without need to remember passwords. Fuzzy Commitment Scheme (FCS) is considered as a famous approach to protect the user’s data. However, these gait-based biometric systems are hampered by the lack of formal security analysis to prove the security strength and effectiveness. Therefore, this paper gives a comprehensive analysis evaluation on security of fuzzy commitment and proposes a framework of gait-based biometric fuzzy commitment scheme using smart phones. The evaluation results show that a significant security strength resistant to different attacks.
