Biometric authentication in internet of things : A conceptual view

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) is a buzzword, where all digital devices are connecting with each other to exchange some information. These devices are encroaching on our daily life including home appliances, offices, health etc. Security is the major concern for the Internet of Things (IoT). Whenever devices are connected then authentication is required for secure communication. So, authentication forms the gateway for a secure communication system. Authentication with text passwords still widely used but have become insecure. Therefore, it is an important concern to address by using biometric authentication. This paper presents the conceptual idea of securing internet of Things network using biometric authentication with iris recognition.
