Optimization and integration of electronic identity authentication using a biometric indicator and RFID

Abstract

In this article, individual's biometric index, radio frequency identification (RFID), and image processing are brought together in order to offer a new model of identity authentication. The suggested system has been designed in two phases: producing identity authentication card and identity confirmation. The individual's biometric image are put on a contact-less card equipped with an RFID tag and for each identity authentication, the data on the card are compared with the online biometric image. If the individual's identity is authenticated, then there will be no need for him/her to punch in the personal information since his/her information will be retrieved from the database through their electronic personal code (EPLC).
