[cas-dev] CAS with Biometrics

[Elisardo González Agulla]

Dear all,

My name is Elisardo González and I am a member of the Signal Processing 
Group at the University of Vigo (Spain). My research group is working on 
several R&D projects related to biometrics.

We have worked with CAS in order to add support for web authentication 
based on biometrics. For this purpose, we have developed a Java-client 
that allows the use of any BioAPI-compliant software or devices (as UPEK 
fingeprint scanners) in order to authenticate users. Furthermore, basic 
face-verification mode based on webcam images of the user and/or voice 
recording is provided.

Our system is available on the web for demo purposes: URL 
https://www.webapps.gts.tsc.uvigo.es/BiometricCAS/login

To test the system you need:

1-    Access to our website 
https://www.webapps.gts.tsc.uvigo.es/BioAuthWebServer/

2.-    Create a new user, log in, and perform an enrollment session.  
Our current version is offering several types of biometric enrollment 
and verification:                    - BioPassword verification (dummy) 
and UPEK fingerprint (commercial) require the BioAPI framework to be 
installed;
        - face verification (beta - under development in our lab) 
requires webcam;
        - voice verification (beta - under development in our lab) 
requires microphone;
        - signature verification (dummy) would require a tablet in order 
to obtain the dynamic signature of the user, though it is allowed to use 
the mouse also for this purpose (called mouse signature verification).

3-       Access to our modified version of CAS front-end with support 
for biometrics going to 
https://www.webapps.gts.tsc.uvigo.es/BiometricCAS/login.

If anyone is interested in collaborating with our project, please
