A Review on Authentication by Embedding Biometrics in Qr Codes

Abstract

In an age characterized by digital services and the ever-present threat of cyber- attacks, robust and secure authentication methods have never been more analytical. Traditional methods, such as passwords and pins, are prone to various susceptibility, including phishing, brute-force attacks, and user negligence. This vulnerability highlights the pressing need for innovation in the field of authentication. Biometric authentication has proven to be a promising solution that offers the potential for increased security and user benefits, introducing a burst of fresh possibilities into the authentication landscape. However, even biometric systems have faced their own challenges, introducing debates and discussions about privacy and their vulnerability to unauthorized access. In the quest for solutions, a concept like QR code biometric authentication enters the scene, adding a burst of ingenuity and complexity to the discourse. This innovative system employs a cryptographic algorithm to encrypt and decrypt the QR code, creating a perplexing layer of security that baffles potential attackers. The QR code biometric authentication approach eliminates the need for complex passwords, introducing simplicity and efficiency, while simultaneously bursting through the limitations of traditional authentication methods. This paper reviews the literature present in biometric authentication and QR code and help the researcher to gain more knowledge in this field.
