Abstract

Biometrics is a science discipline dealing with unique traits of the individuals including habitual characteristics. Once the unique features revealed from these characteristics are extracted as signals instead of raw data, it is possible to search for the new distinguishable traits. One of the traits, if any kind of time based signal is extracted, could be frequency component versus time component of the signal, depending on the content of the feature extraction and yet most of the signals consisting of a magnitude or a value as a dependent variable fit the requirements. The magnitude/value representation may vary indeed; however our previous researches proved that key-codes and key-press signals in biometric keystroke authentication and dislocation and speed signals in online signature verification are very useful of this kind of analysis. Therefore in this paper, we present the methods for extracting distinguishable features and frequency vs. time representation by short time Fourier transform (STFT) and continuous wavelet transformation (CWT) to introduce related research methodologies by comparing the outcomes and future opportunities. While presenting our approach to Biometric keystroke authentication and online signature verification, we also aim to present the differences of these methods with basic roadmaps and graphical results.
