Electrocardiogram-Kerberos authentication scheme for secure services

The concern for security increases due to the advances in the falsification technology. Biometrics is the only authentication method which truly identifies an individual when compared to other methods like PINs and passwords. Even though there are numerous biometric approaches, these are not robust. In this paper, we aimed at building a protocol which focuses on Electrocardiogram (ECG) being used as a parameter along with Kerberos version4 authentication protocol, which will allow client and server to mutually authenticate with each other in an insecure network.
