Abstract

This chapter presents the original idea of using social networks and context information in multimodal biometric for increased system security. A recently investigated study’s outcomes is presented, which showcase this idea as a new step in multi-biometric research. Since this method does not degrade the performance of the system and is not computationally expensive, it can be used in any biometric framework. However, as the amount of improvement depends on how distinctive and predictable people are in terms of their behavioral patterns, the method is most suitable for the predictable environments with some predefined behavioral routines. Fine tuning the system for each environment to find the most suitable parameters based on the behavioral patterns of that specific environment can result in better performance. This research is validated on example of gait recognition.
