Description

TITLE OF THE INVENTION: "EVOLVED BIOMETRIC SYSTEM WITH ENHANCED FEATURE AND METHOD FOR THE SAME"

FIELD OF THE INVENTION:

The present invention relates to an evolved biometrics system with enhanced feature and method for the same. In particularly it relates to the authentication and verification of the identity of users in real time with live biometrics using one or more biometric modalities with maximum accuracy and precision. The data transfer is secured using different encryption techniques.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION:

This invention relates generally to authenticating individuals and more particularly to a method and system for biometric authentication. Generally biometric authentication systems are used to identify and verify the identity of individuals and are used in many different contexts such as verifying the identity of individuals entering a country using electronic passports. Biometric authentication systelms have also been known to verify the identity of individuals and have now been deployed in various commercial, civilian, & forensic set-ups as a means of establishing & confirming identity like using driver's licenses, traveler's tokens, employee identity cards and banking cards.

In recent years, biometric authentication using biometric information is widely used as means for authenticating. Biometric are generally classified as stable and unstable biometric. Biometric which remain stable for longer time and do not vary occasionally are considered as stable biometric not limiting to for e.g. Fingerprints Scan, Palm, Retina, Iris Patterns, Signature, DNA Sequence, face, lips etc. Whereas in case of unstable biometric they frequently vary depending on emotion and surrounding/environment for example not limiting to Voice, Gait, Foot Pressure, Weight, Bodypressure, Heart beat scan, Nail, perspiration and dental pattern etc. Known biometric authentication system search engines generally identify individuals using biometric feature templates derived from raw biometric data captured from individuals. Biometric systems has the means to access control (output) include token-based identification systems such as driver's license or passport and knowledge-based identification systems such as password or personal identification number. Examples of available biometric information include capture - image information obtained by capturing images of body parts, such as Fingerprints Scanner, Palm, Retina & Iris Patterns, Digital Signature, DNA Sequence and Voice print information obtained by recording voice.

Specifically a biometric feature template derived from biometric data captured from an individual during authentication is compared against a database of previously derived biometric feature templates and the identity of the individual is verified upon determining a match between one of the stored biometric feature templates and the biometric feature template derived during authentication However comparing biometric feature templates against a database biometric feature templates may place substantial demands on computer system memory and processing which may result in unacceptably long authentication periods. Moreover such known biometric authentication works in a multi-stages process that consists of the following steps: Enrollment, Processing, Extraction, Comparison and Matching data.

Most biometric systems deployed in real-world applications are unimodal, i.e. they rely on the evidence of a single source of information eg. single or multiple fingerprints or face or iris or retina or palm. But the 'unimodal' or 'single mode' biometric solutions have limitations in terms of accuracy and susceptibility to spoofing. For example according to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST/USA) approximately two percent of the population does not have a legible fingerprint and therefore can't be enrolled into a finger print biometric system. Multiple problems such as noisy data, intra-class variations, interclass similarities, non-universality and spoofing leads to considerably high False Acceptance Rates (FAR) and low False Rejection Rates (FRR), limited indiscrimination capabilities, and lack of desired performances. In Indian patent No ΓΝ236304 by Multimedia Glory describe a method of identifying an individual using biometric data selected from one or more of the following; finger print, palm print, iris or any or any other biometric data. The relativity of each significant feature in relation to other feature is computed. The relativity is combined to obtain a classification code. The classification code and the biometric data obtained are encrypted. Then the encrypted data is stored. The biometrics data is verified against the earlier stored biometrics data of the same individual. WO2008121730 discloses a method and/or system for identity management and authentication of examination candidates by, for example, capturing biometric data and identification information from an examination candidate and storing the data and information in a database. The method and/or system includes, for example, capturing biometric data from an individual at a later time for comparison with data stored in the database, and which allows authentication of the individual after determining that the biometric data matches the previously stored data and the individual matches the previously stored information.

Multimodal biometrics uses a combination of recognition technologies to compare the identity of an individual. If one of the technologies fails for any reason, the system can still use another one or more of them to provide accurate identification of an individual. Better accuracy can be naturally obtained by having a large number of biometric scanning systems. Additions of methods like DNA Sequencing, though it is time consuming would offer additional benefits. However it has been observed that integrating a large number of independent biometric systems offer certain technological challenges and hence are rarely attempted to integrate them.

WO2005008210 discloses a system and method for performing security access control based on modified biometric data. Here enhanced security and accuracy is obtained through recognition of one or more distorted biometrics. The method includes detecting a distorted biometric , comparing the distorted biometric, to one or more distortion patterns in storage unit, and controlling access to a restricted item based on results of the comparison. The biometric may be an eye pattern, a fingerprint or palm print, a voice print, a handwriting sample, a DNA sample, a facial image, or any other type of characteristic or behavioral attribute of a person. The biometric may be distorted in any one of a variety of ways for comparison to previously enrolled biometrics which have been distorted using the same or similar element. A system and program embodied within a computer-readable medium performs the steps of the method. With the existing multimodal biometric system there is a requirement of system which could provide a real analysis and live biometric. There is a need of a system which could transfer data with high security avoiding data theft, plodder, and mutilate. There is a need of system which could authenticate the status of identified individual whether dead or alive. Time consumption is more in conventionally know biometric system to achieve the accuracy, hence there is a need of an system which could provide high accuracy as that of more than 99% in very less time with less noise. As there is large number of data need to be stored, hence a system that could store large number of data in considerable small space is required. Not limiting the above requirement/embodiment there is a need of a system which could overcome all the above drawbacks. Considering the above drawbacks, a biometric system and method for the same is evolved to overcome the same not limiting to the below mentioned embodiments.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION:

The Evolved Multimodal biometrics technology utilizes a process for enrollment with the help of one or more biometric instruments either simultaneously or one after another which are:

1. Finger scanner, 2. Iris scanner, 3. Face Camera, 4. Palm scanner, 5. Signature recognizer etc

1. Working of the Finger Scanner

The Finger Scanner a component of our Integrated or Synchronized system works as follows. The instrument consists of three parts: 1. The Instrument comprising of Light Emitting Sensor (LES), 2. Data Cables to connect as well as to transfer data / to or from the instrument to / from hardware 3. Software Programmer Data cable is connected to finger scanner at one end and to hardware at other end. By using graphical user interface enrollment and identification is done. The computer system, software program and finger scanner are synchronized and integrated with each other so that they are compatible with each other.

Finger Scanner has two major functions:

1. Enrollment:- Collecting Biometric Data by capturing the biometric Feature (two thumbs and eight fingers) of an individual for enrollment.

2. Identification:- Verifying or Matching or Comparing the recently or newly collected biometric data by capturing the biometric feature (thumb or finger) of an individual with the stored Templates in the computers.

This finger scanner is based on a principle that is needs to complete its circuit. In this scanner electrons emitting from finger tips completes the circuit cycle, as the electrode is based on this principle. With this unique feature a dead person's finger cannot be identified as a dead human/animal finger does not contain set of electrons to complete the circuit where as in case of a live human, blood is continuously flowing and replenishment of electrons is continuously there hence the circuit is completed and the individual can be identified. Also fingerprints with contaminants like dust, grease, oil, water and other contaminants can be easily identified using this scanner. Bruised or injured finger, blood stained or dye stained finger can be identified easily.

2. Working of Iris Scanner:

The Iris scanner as a component of our Integrated or Synchronized system works as follows. 1. The instrument comprising of a camera, 2. Data Cable to connect as well as to transfer data / to or from the instrument to / from hardware, 3. Software Programmer Developed by us

Data cable is connected to iris scanner at one end and to hardware at other end. By using graphical user interface enrollment and identification is done. The computer system, software program and iris scanner are synchronized and integrated with each other so that they are compatible with each other. The iris scanner is ready to capture images of iris. To capture iris image it utilizes high resolution camera which provides required magnification. The images of eye iris are captured. The captured iris image is processed and stored in a storage device by Software. The iris images of both irises are stored in the database in the form of binary data with which a Unique Code (for left and right irises of an individual) is also assigned either manually or automatically. The storage process is being defined in Software.

Iris Scanner has two major functions:

1. Enrollment:- Collecting biometric data by capturing the biometric feature (left and right irises) of an individual for enrollment.

2. Identification:- Verifying or Matching or Comparing the recently or newly collected biometric data by capturing the biometric feature (either left or right iris) of an individual with the binary data stored in the database.

This iris scanner is able to capture iris through contact lens, coloured contact lens, spectacles and glares. The unique feature of this scanner is autodetection of the iris and automatic capture of the iris.

3. Working of Face;

The Face scanner as a component of our Integrated or Synchronized system works as follows. The instrument consists of three parts: 1. The instrument comprising of a camera, 2. Data cable to connect as well as to transfer data / to or from the instrument to / from hardware, 3. Software Programmer.

Data cable is connected to face scanner at one end and to hardware at other end. By using graphical user interface enrollment and identification is done. The computer system, software program and face scanner are synchronized and integrated with each other so that they are compatible with each other.

Face camera has two major functions:

1. Enrollment:- Collecting biometric data by capturing the biometric features (face) of an individual for enrollment.

2. Identification:- Verifying or Matching or Comparing the recently or newly collected biometric data by capturing the biometric feature (face) of an individual with the binary data stored in the database.

This face scanner has an auto-detection and lag detection property which will continuously scan the face either it is identified or unidentified. This face scanner detects face only if the eyes of the individual are available during scanning, this avoids the fraud causes by cheat using a similar look mask or by doing a plastic surgery resembling same individual face, as this scan requires eyes for scanning. Another unique feature of this scanner is it doesn't recognize 2-D 3-D virtual sized photographs of the same individual placed in if front of the camera.

4. Working of Palm Scanner:

The Palm scanner as a component of our Integrated or Synchronized system works as follows. The instrument consists of three parts: 1. The Instrument comprising of Infra Red Sensors, 2. Data cable to connect as well as to transfer data / to or from the instrument to / from hardware, 3. Software Programmer.

Data cable is connected to palm scanner at one end and to hardware at other end. By using graphical user interface enrollment and identification is done. The computer system, software program and palm scanner are synchronized and integrated with each other so that they are compatible with each other.

Palm scanner has two major functions:

1. Enrollment:- Collecting biometric data by capturing the biometric feature (left and right palms) of an individual for enrollment.

2. Identification:- Verifying or Matching or Comparing the recently or newly collected biometric data by capturing the biometric feature (either left or right palm) of an individual with the stored binary data in the database.

The unique feature of this scanner is it identifies only alive individual, a dead individual cannot be identified because deoxygenated blood present both in veins and arteries which will differ from the previously recorded pattern and hence it will not identify.

5. DNA SEQUENCING: For DNA sequencing following steps are followed: A. Collection of Blood Samples

B. Isolation of Genomic DNA from Blood C. Primer design and PCR

1. Primer sequence

2. Standardization of PCR conditions using gradient PCR PCR cleanup:

The amplified PCR products were eluted and were further used for sequencing.

3. Cycle sequencing:

a. Protocol for Cleanup of PCR Product b. Cycle sequencing components c. Clean up after Cycle Sequencing

As described above all the four instruments function independently and store the data in their respective software development kit. Then program takes this input from the software and transfers all this data into the storage place created by program. Program does not allow overlapping of these images to happen as used tools to make our data tables so strong that this confusion is avoided.

After the enrollment process by the instruments is complete the individual will come to the port where his / her blood sample will be collected for DNA sequencing. This process takes a minimum of 48 hours. The sequence is 1400 bases long and it is taken only from the X or Y chromosome respectively. This sequence of 1400 bases is then entered into our program and then stored at the appropriate place.

The crux of our invention lies in integrating all the biometric instruments i.e. finger scanner, iris scanner, face scanner, palm scanner, digital signature with the DNA sequences in the same computer application.

We tried to solve many of the problems associated with the use multiple biometric devices which includes the issues related to accuracy of the instruments or biometric devices For example: the finger scanner can't take very sharp images every time so there is a possibility that the computer system misinterprets and shows us a wrong match for the same person. This can be overcome by using several biometrics of the same person to identify him / her. In case of the iris scanner, there is a peculiar problem i.e. if the distance from the camera is not appropriate the scanner gives a distorted image and that can lead to misinterpretation leading to a wrong match. The problem is again solved by using other biometric data of the same person. Our biometric system can assure a result of more than 99% matching as we are using multiple biometrics of the same individual to identify him or her.

No biometric data may be available of an individual particularly in an accident or a crime scene where only some traces of blood or hair or saliva etc. related to that individual could be obtained. In such cases DNA sequencing helps in identification by checking in our database. Inclusion of DNA sequencing in our system thus becomes invaluable.

EXAMPLE 2

In another embodiment of the invention, at least 4 biometric scanning devices are arranged in an unique way with a single usb hub connecting the same to the computer (Fig.8).

The hardware consists of two additional devices for connecting the usb of the devices as seen on the blue print of the device. The first device is a usb hub which consists of four ports to fit in the usb drive of our instruments like finger scanner, iris scanner, palm scanner and face scanner. The function of the device is to connect all the devices with the computer via the single usb cable. The instrument is just like a bridge to connect the data transfer of the image between the computer and the scanners. The microprocessor chip of the usb is designed in such a way that it connects all the instruments to the computer still keeping their individual data transfer different from each other so that they do not combine with each other or they do not send the data of that instrument into the wrong field in the computer database which can lead to a confusion and ultimately lead to a collapse of the database. The problem which we have solved by installing this system is that most of the laptops currently available in the world have space only for three usb port whereas our program requires four usb ports to connect all the hardware. Hence by this system we are saving space of two usb ports which can be utilized for others purposes such as inserting a pen drive or another type of hardware. Also it takes away 90-95% load put on computer by attaching only one usb hub instead of attaching all the instruments. The greatest advantage of all is that the conventional usb wires are only a meter long while attaching this usb hub we can make the wire at least of 5 meters (as tried and tested by us) and the data transfer speed remaining the same. The circuit consists of four hubs connected in a series connection as per ohms law. It is made unique by connecting by connecting two instruments directly with the printed circuit board will the other two by normal usb connection .What this type of connection does is that it gives us opportunity to run all the instruments simultaneously which currently no one in the world can provide with all these instruments.

Also the changes made in the printed circuit board of the multiple usb are for getting higher number of voltage from the main supply. Basically we have increased the capacity of the multiple usb hub by increasing the numbers of IC's, Capacitors, and the number of resistors has been decreased by a certain amount. This has increased the overall capacity while making the instruments consume fewer amounts of energy but making them work efficiently.

This image represents the structure for a multiple usb hub. (Fig.6)

In this modifications have been made to remove the ports while to replace with direct connections.

Now about the second hardware that is the charger system or the adapter system for our set of instruments. Actually our instruments do not consume that much power but to capture iris with high resolution we need power input of about 2-2.5 volts. So we have developed a charger cum adapter system for it even though the light is cut off it can power the instruments for a few minutes. Figure 7 depicts the figure of adapter which is powering our hardware model currently.

The design of the circuit is indigenous because we have made a unique arrangement for the data transfer of the data from the instruments to the computer. The role the hardware is transferring of data without overlapping of data between the instruments and the computer.

It is designed specifically to transfer data in a proper channel and it is done by using data cables which are retrofitted in the printed circuit board. The working mechanism is that it does not depend on the connection pins of the USB Slots of the computer as well as the device. Our circuit is planned in a very unique fashion consisting of IC's, resistors, capacitors and a microprocessor.

The data cable contains four Wires with colours White, Black, Green and Red. White and black wires of the cable are for the power supply to the instruments and Green and Red wires of the cable are for data transfer and instructions transfer from device to computer and vice versa. Any data transfer process is a power consuming process so it needs help of capacitors. The function of capacitor is generally to store charge in the form of electric current. Each capacitor is having maximum capacity of 10 microfarad for charge accumulation and maximum capacity of 5 volts for potential difference. 10 (TEN) such capacitors are installed in the circuit. The reason for installing so many capacitors is to match the requirements of total charge and potential difference of all these instruments. The number of resistors has been significantly decreased so as to provide us the boost in storing the charge in the capacitors. 3 resistors with their minimum capacity have been installed in the circuit.

The data cables are embedded in the circuit. Four separate IC's are connected to each of the four data cables. The function of IC's with the microprocessor is to control timing and the data transfer without the confusion or overlapping within the hardware or in the computer. The IC's used in the circuit are 8085, 8081 and 7805. The coding of the particular IC's is done using a language known as computer language "C" which is an universal language of programming for the IC's. Also there are middle level programming languages and assembly level languages for the programming of IC's.

The examples mentioned below are not limited to the below mentioned:

Examples:

The biometric of individuals are captured using figure scan, iris scan, face scanner, palm scanner, signature scanner and DNA scanner. This data is transfer to a processing unit where the information is processed and segregated so that no agglomeration is there in the database. The information is then passed from the processing unit to database where it is stored systematically where time of retrieval is very quick. The mode of access (output) or application can be various depending on requirement not limited to mention below:

1. Wireless Access Control

This system is a very robust system which is built to give authorized user access to restricted areas. This is a system wherein the biometrics is collected and the verified with the already enrolled data and the access is given to only verified person. This system is kept wireless so that the range of the access control system can be extended from just a few feet to kilometers. It utilizes a specially designed circuit which gives wireless access. 2. Immigration

Elimination of fake passport can be achieved with this application in aviation industry for immigration. If an individual is issued a passport from a particular county and he moves to another country and then applies for fake passport from other country, in such case when biometric are in record he tries to enroll for the identification. At such point of time such a fraud of passport duplication could be stopped.

3. Insurance

Identity theft today is the biggest threat to insurance industry. Where insurance industry cater to health and life insurance. The enrolled biometric could help to detect the health status of such individual, also to issue an life-insurance the identity of an individual. This can be stopped by enforcing biometrics which will reveal the identity of the particular individual and hence the fraud can be stopped.

For the accuracy, precision and time point of view we had used Wireless Access Control system for 10 people with different age group. There biometric were enrolled and then was identified, authenticated, and verified as mentioned below:
