Question

Cognitive Biometrics is another way to secure your system without adding a burden on the user. Instead of user passwords, you can use pictures to secure your system. Complete the following lab using "Passfaces". Click on the link here to download it:  www.passfaces.com/demo

Complete the demo after entering your information. Wait one day and go to this link again and go through the process, but instead of entering your information again, login with your creditials you have stored there. (press "LOGON" under "Returning Users") Did you remember the faces correctly? Now, discuss in a single page (double spaced, APA format) how you did and what you think about this type of authentication. Does it work? Would this be valid in most companies? What are the downfalls of using such an application?

Explanation / Answer

Authenticating a unique user based behavioural biometric traits has been extensively researched over the past years

The most behavioural biometric research are done on keystroke and mouse dynamics.The scheme however have shown to be vulnerable to human based and robitic attacks

Condition based user interaction in the authentication process such interaction boats to provide two key advantages

First it my enhance the security process of the multiple rounds of active interaction would server as a mechanism to control several attacks including zero trained attacker and automated attacks

Second it my enhance the usability of authentication process by actively engaging the process

Explore the cognitive authentication paradigam through very simplistic interactive challenges,called Dynamic cognitive games which involves the objective floating around the images

Biometirc is hard to replayed and spoofed by automated means,such as robots or malware attacks.

Human factors and usability issues have traditionally played a limited role in security research and security systems Development.
