A security model with biometric components for e-learning systems

The paper presents an innovative security architecture with multimodal biometrics for e-Learning systems. The biometric data fusion is approached using a hierarchical methodology for feature-level fusion with 2 layers, local (intra-modal) and global (inter-modal) fusion. Some design options are proposed to be explored and evaluated in order to establish their feasibility for e-Learning platforms. This proposal belongs to an ongoing research with focus on improving the security in applications from various areas and in which the multimodal biometrics should be used.
