A comparative study on biometric based authentication method for IOT service

Abstract

Along with the development of high-tech information and communication technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT) is drawing attention as a core technology of the Fourth Industrial Revolution because the IoT is linked to all industrial sectors. All things are connected to the Internet and automated without the intervention of humans. Furthermore, they provide intelligent services to change the overall lives of people. The development of IoT technology has improved the convenience of everyday life. However, on the other hand, it has raised issues in the aspect of security such as personal information leakage, data forgery, and personal information infringement. The IoT has suffered from privacy issues because it collects and generates data. It reflects that authentication is a very important element in the IoT. This study proposed a safe authentication method that can mutually authenticate with various objects by using the biometric information of a user and the information of a device in the IoT environment. The performance analysis has also proven that it is a safe and efficient technique.
