Diseño de un prototipo que realice control de acceso en los servicios y recursos institucionales de la Universidad de Pamplona implementando reconocimiento biométrico.

Abstract

Authentication and identification are the first stage that a user must go through in the process of opening a connection to a service or a session, in any case it is important to validate that the identity of the user is the same one that is associated in the information. Biometrics for user recognition is mainly based on the identification stage, searching for unique characteristics of living beings. Later on, biometric techniques are also used in conjunction with authentication techniques. There is a great difference between authentication versus identification, which is simple, in identifying the identifier object it allows verifying that the user exists, as authentication is the process in which it can be shown that the user is who he claims to be. This document outlines the design of a prototype that allows access control to the institutional services of the University of Pamplona, implementing biometric recognition, starting from the selection under a comparative analysis between some common and reliable biometric techniques and in the same way with authentication techniques, seeking the greatest cost benefit advantage for the University of Pamplona. We also describe the study of the selected technique with different tools and open source software along with a description of them. Culminating with the design of a prototype combining the selected techniques together with the software tools.
