Multi-modal biometric fusion based continuous user authentication for E-proctoring using hybrid LCNN-Salp swarm optimization.

In Covid 19, pandemic remote proctoring of the employee or human being is evolved as a big challenge for the information retrieval process. On the other side, memory-based system access authentication is becoming outdated and less preferred for live applications, especially where data security and customer privacy are crucial. Multi-modal authentication has outperformed the unimodal process with high accuracy and improved security in the user authentication field. Multi-modal biometric verification includes user attributes such as keystrokes, iris, speech, face, etc. For real-time execution of multi-modal biometric fusion-based live tracking for compatible applications. The study proposes an efficient continuous biometric user authentication system for a new challenge of pandemic time, a live online authentication of the evaluation process (CBUA-OE). The proposed CBUA-OE system can address the challenges associated with live proctoring and is also compatible with real-time implementation, deployment of authentication systems. The modified wolf optimization algorithm and CUBA-OE's optimal feature fusion algorithm give an edge over the other contemporary methods and make it more robust. In modern forms of authentication, the classification stage affects the overall outcome of the system, and the model's performance is also a factor of varying quality of datasets. In contrast, a hybrid LCNN-Salp swarm optimization-based classifier is more efficient and consistent in continuous user authentication. Here the performance of the proposed hybrid LCNN-Salp swarm optimization classifier is analyzed with different standard datasets. The results are compared with the existing state-of-art classifiers regarding the accuracy, precision, recall, and F-measure. This projected work is novel in terms of usability factors and scalability to live tracking systems.
