Ensuring the identity of a user in time: a multi-modal fuzzy approach

This work proposes a fuzzy multimodal technique capable of guaranteeing the desired level of security while keeping under control the high costs typically associated to some biometric authentication devices. Specifically we describe a fuzzy controller choosing within a palette of authentication techniques to continuously check and confirm its trust in the identity of a user.
