Biometrics
Recently, biometric door-lock based on finger print technology was successfully completed in collaboration with an industrial partner. Research is being pursued in developing multimodal biometric fusion algorithms using fingerprint, voice and face recognition data. This will be further extended to incorporate wireless security and the fusion algorithms will be modified to achieve secure communication using cellular and WiMax networks in health care and commercial transaction applications. Nanotechnology based fingerprint sensor with liveness detection based on sweat pore activity is being developed to improve authentication to achieve desired FAR and FRR. A further area of research is the study of chaotic behaviour in electronic circuits and the conditions for such behaviour. This offers potential for new data encryption strategies. Future research will also focus on the use of nanotechnology based antenna arrays to develop fingerprint sensor.
