SkullConduct: Biometric User Identification on Eyewear Computers Using Bone Conduction Through the Skull
Stefan Schneegass, Youssef Oualil, Andreas Bulling

Abstract:
Secure user identification is important for the increasing number of eyewear computers but limited input capabilities pose significant usability challenges for established knowledge-based schemes, such as passwords or PINs. We present SkullConduct, a biometric system that uses bone conduction of sound through the users skull as well as a microphone readily integrated into many of these devices, such as Google Glass. At the core of SkullConduct is a method to analyze the characteristic frequency response created by the users skull using a combination of Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficient (MFCC) features as well as a computationally light-weight 1NN classifier. We report on a controlled experiment with 10 participants that shows that this frequency response is person-specific and stable — even when taking off and putting on the device multiple times — and thus serves as a robust biometric. We show that our method can identify users with 97.0% accuracy and authenticate them with an equal error rate of 6.9%, thereby bringing biometric user identification to eyewear computers equipped with bone conduction technology.

Who watches the watchmen? Probably China. They have a vast 20 million camera surveillance network installed throughout the country, all to keep a watchful eye on those who would deign defy the Party. I mean, traffic. They use it to keep an eye on traffic. Its called Skynet. Seriously. And who helps the Chinese regime operate these all-seeing eyes? Western tech companies of course! Like Cisco and Hewlett Packard! They helped Bo Xilai install half a million security cameras in Chongqing. That is, before his disastrous fall from power. And though the US has Tiananmen export controls in place, restrictions on crime-control related products put in place after the Tiananmen Square Massacre, security cameras and the networks that run them fit into a nice loophole.

Once the stuff of science fiction, facial-scanning cameras are becoming a part of daily life in China, where theyre used for marketing, surveillance and social control. Video: Paolo Bosonin. Photo: Qilai Shen/Bloomberg
