The main goal of ΒΙΟΤΑΥΤΟΤΗΤΑ is to fuse information from various sensors capturing the dynamic behavioural profile of the user (face, gait, body, and dynamics) and to develop an innovative system based on multimodal coding and encryption principles in order to enhance security in information systems and Ambient Intelligence Infrastructures in general on the basis of biometric signature storage and reuse level. To achieve the aforementioned goal, the current proposal will develop new biometric technologies related to behavioural features in which the user will be involved, with reference to use cases where anthropometric biometrics will be tested to enhance the safety and reliability of networks and services infrastructure. The main objective of ΒΙΟΤΑΥΤΟΤΗΤΑ is the integration of biometrics in information systems and Ambient Intelligence Infrastructures in order to support user continuous authentication and monitoring (verification of user identity). Particular focus will be paid to the unobtrusiveness of user’s monitoring as well as to the secure storage of biometric templates in order to achieve the unobtrusiveness and the universal acceptance of such a system. The research focus is on unobtrusive sensors integrated in the infrastructure. The analysis of face features and body dynamics is expected to provide useful information for the dynamic behavioural profile of the user as well as his/her anthropometric profile. Among the innovations of the proposed project is the focus on activity-related patterns in order to fully characterize the human.
