Mitigating Iris-Based Replay Attacks

Joseph Shelton, Kaushik Roy, Brian O’Connor, and Gerry V. Dozier

Abstract—In this paper, we present an iris-based access control protocol that is resistant to iris-based replay attacks. This new style of biometric-based access control protocol is similar to the so called, ‘one time password’ approach used by some conventional username/password access protocols. Our results show that not only is this new type of iris-based access protocol effective, it can also distinguish between when a user attempting to gain access has supplied a poor sample of their iris and when the access control system is experiencing an iris-based replay attack.

Index Terms—Biometrics, cyber security, genetic and evolutionary computation, iris recognition.
