Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Internet of Things (IoT) applications has been deployed in a wide variety of critical infrastructure and applications ranging from transportation, healthcare, and supply chain. While IoT brings a number of benefits including convenience and efficiency, it also introduces a number of emerging threats. With the emergence of the Internet-of-Things (IoT), there is a growing need for access control and data protection. Biometric-based authentication is promising for IoT due to its convenient nature and lower susceptibility to attacks. Additionally, machine learning and deep learning techniques are delivering a promising solution to biometric systems and to increase the accuracy and plays a decisive role for presentation attack detection.

The goal of this special issue is to solicit high quality contributions on: (i) investigating the usage of deep learning and biometric systems in the context of IoT applications; (ii) novel techniques in biometric deep fakes and digital data forensics, particularly by exploiting, but not limited to, deep learning approaches.

Biometric technology has received a lot of attention in recent years. One of the most prevalent biometric traits is the finger-knuckle print (FKP). Because the dorsal region of the finger is not exposed to surfaces, FKP would be a dependable and trustworthy biometric. We provide an FKP framework that uses the VGG-19 deep learning model to extract deep features from FKP images in this paper. The deep features are collected from the VGG-19 model’s fully connected layer 6 (F6) and fully connected layer 7 (F7). After applying multiple preprocessing steps, such as combining features from different layers and performing dimensionality reduction using principal component analysis (PCA), the extracted deep features are put to the test. The proposed system’s performance is assessed using experiments on the Delhi Finger Knuckle Dataset employing a variety of common classifiers. The best identification result was obtained when the Artificial neural network (ANN) classifier was applied to the principal components of the averaged feature vector of F6 and F7 deep features, with 95% of the data variance preserved. The findings also demonstrate the feasibility of employing these deep features in an FKP recognition system. Full article
