Device- versus Network-Centric Authentication Paradigms for Mobile Devices:

摘要: The increasing capability and functionality of mobile devices is leading to a corresponding increase in the need for security prevent unauthorised access. Indeed, as data services accessed via become more sensitive, existing method user authentication (predominately based upon Personal Identification Numbers) appears increasingly insufficient. An alternative basis offered by biometric approaches; which have potential be implemented non-intrusive manner also enable applied an ongoing manner, beyond initial point-of-entry. However, implementation any mechanism, particularly approaches, introduces considerations where main elements (such processing data, decisions making, storing templates/profiles) should reside. At extremes, there are two alternatives: device-centric paradigm, aforementioned aspects handled locally; or network-centric actions occur remotely under jurisdiction network operator. This paper examines alternatives determines that each context relation privacy storage bandwidth demands, service availability. In view various advantages disadvantages, it concluded hybrid approach represents most feasible solution; enabling split between locations depending individual circumstances. flexible approach, will architecture adaptable needs different users, requirements.
