A new brazilian hand-based behavioural biometrics database: data collection and analysis

The technologies of biometrics provide a variety of powerful tools to determine or confirm individual identity while, more recently, there has been considerable interest in using soft biometrics (personal information which is characteristic of, but not unique to, individuals) in the identification task. Although the area has seen an increase advance in the last decade, there is still the need to understand the existing demographics differences. More importantly, though, is the acquisition of new and relevant multimodal databases that can be used for new investigations. Therefore, this paper presents a protocol for the collection of the first hand-based multimodal biometrics database with keystroke dynamics, keystroke-touch dynamics and handwritten signature in Brazil.
