Abstract

En 中文

Research on multi-biometric authentication systems using multiple biometric modalities to defend against adversarial attacks is actively being pursued. These systems authenticate users by combining two or more biometric modalities using score or feature-level fusion. However, research on adversarial attacks and defences against each biometric modality within these authentication systems has not been actively conducted. In this study, we constructed a multi-biometric authentication system using fingerprint, palmprint, and iris information from CASIA-BIT by employing score and feature-level fusion. We verified the system's vulnerability by deploying adversarial attacks on single and multiple biometric modalities based on the FGSM, with epsilon values ranging from 0 to 0.5. The experimental results show that when the epsilon value is 0.5, the accuracy of the multi-biometric authentication system against adversarial attacks on the palmprint and iris information decreases from 0.995 to 0.018 and 0.003, respectively, and the f1-score decreases from 0.995 to 0.007 and 0.000, respectively, demonstrating susceptibility to adversarial attacks. In the case of fingerprint data, however, the accuracy and f1-score decreased from 0.995 to 0.731 and from 0.995 to 0.741, respectively, indicating resilience against adversarial attacks.
