Abstract

Many different biometric traits can be used for human identification, and each one has specific advantages over the others. However, there is a common problem for most of them: the spoofing vulnerability of the features. The authentication based on human reflexes is a recent proposal against frauds at the biometric level. The involuntary responses of the body cannot be removed from the person, naturally mimicked or reproduced by artificial means. This paper presents a proposal for the use of the features of the Pupillary Light Reflex for user authentication, using artificial neural networks for classification.
