The scheme of 3-level authentication mechanism for preventing internal information leakage

In this paper, we proposed 3-level authentication technique to prevent internal information leakage in network system. When system authenticates users, it requires user's ID&P/W firstly. Then, it requires a secondary authentication component to check whether he/she is legitimate user. By doing so, it can implement a more robust authentication system. The secondary authentication components are usually a security card, an encryption key and bio-information such as iris, face, fingerprint etc. But there is a problem related to ID&P/W exposure and bio-information copy. Especially, nobody knows can check whether ID&P/W are exposed, whether bioinformation is copied. So, we propose another authentication way using biometric signals. A biometric signal is essentially a pattern recognition factor that operates by acquiring biometric signals from an individual, extracting a feature set from the acquired signal pattern, and comparing this feature set against the template set in the database. We decided to use skin conductivity in the biometric signals as 3

authentication element. The skin conductivity is used as an indication of psychological or physiological arousal. So, there is no risk because it never exposes or copies.
