PERSONAL AUTHENTICATION USING 3-D FINGER GEOMETRY

PERSONAL AUTHENTICATION USING 3-D FINGER GEOMETRY

In this paper, a biometric authentication system based on measurements of the user’s three-dimensional (3-D) hand geometry is proposed. The system relies on a novel real-time and low-cost 3-D sensor that generates a dense range image of the scene. By exploiting 3-D information we are able to limit the constraints usually posed on the environment…

↑ Hmm…, so something strange happened when I installed my smime certificate on my phone today. I got this scary looking thing you see pictured up above?

Well, apparently I’m not the only one who finds this a bit odd. An understatement (obviously).

… the assumption that an uninformed user is to draw based on this is that having any form of third party “trusted credential” installed means that a 3rd party will probably be monitoring my traffic.
