Security Lock System for Mobile Devices Based on Fingerprint Recognition Algorithm

In this paper authors focus on fingerprint recognition biometric systems used by mobile devices to unlock or to confirm user actions. Authors compare the existing fingerprint recognition algorithms and test their own algorithm on fingerprints database, which include changes in the structure as a result of physical damage. They also propose new selective attention algorithms, which help to detect the most sensitive to damage areas, and add it as step of fingerprint analyses for the fingerprint recognition procedures. They also propose a new algorithm, which does not require complex hardware systems, so it can be applied in mobile devices, which restrict unauthorized access to sensitive data or other user's resources. The main goal of this work is to demonstrate the applicability of the developed algorithm for mobile devices.
