Abstract :
Biometric systems present several drawbacks that may significantly decrease their utility. Nowadays, several platforms (such as the FVC-onGoing) exist to assess the performance of such systems. Despite this, none platform exists for the security evaluation of biometric systems. Hence, the aim of this paper is to present an on-line platform for the security evaluation of biometric systems. The key benefits of the presented platform are twofold. First, it provides the research community in biometrics an evaluation tool to assess biometric systems in term of security. Second, the platform provides a database of common threats and vulnerabilities of biometric systems that can be updated by researchers feedbacks. The presented tool is modality-independent. A keystroke dynamics system is used to illustrate the benefits of the presented platform.
