In recent years, physiological signal based authentication has shown great promises,for its inherent robustness against forgery. Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal, being the most widely studied biosignal, has also received the highest level of attention in this regard. It has been proven with numerous studies that by analyzing ECG signals from different persons, it is possible to identify them, with acceptable accuracy. In this work, we present, EDITH, a deep learning-based framework for ECG biometrics authentication system. Moreover, we hypothesize and demonstrate that Siamese architectures can be used over typical distance metrics for improved performance. We have evaluated EDITH using 4 commonly used datasets and outperformed the prior works using less number of beats. EDITH performs competitively using just a single heartbeat (96-99.75% accuracy) and can be further enhanced by fusing multiple beats (100% accuracy from 3 to 6 beats). Furthermore, the proposed Siamese architecture manages to reduce the identity verification Equal Error Rate (EER) to 1.29%. A limited case study of EDITH with real-world experimental data also suggests its potential as a practical authentication system.

Electrocardiograms (ECGs) have shown unique patterns to distinguish between different subjects and present important advantages compared to other biometric traits, such as difficulty to counterfeit, liveness detection, and ubiquity. Also, with the success of Deep Learning technologies, ECG biometric recognition has received increasing interest in recent years. However, it is not easy to evaluate the improvements of novel ECG proposed methods, mainly due to the lack of public data and standard experimental protocols. In this study, we perform extensive analysis and comparison of different scena…

This paper introduces a framework for how to appropriately adopt and adjust Machine Learning (ML) techniques used to construct Electrocardiogram (ECG) based biometric authentication schemes. The proposed framework can help investigators and developers on ECG based biometric authentication mechanisms define the boundaries of required datasets and get training data with good quality. To determine the boundaries of datasets, use case analysis is adopted. Based on various application scenarios on ECG based authentication, three distinct use cases (or authentication categories) are developed. With …

Traditional authentication systems use alphanumeric or graphical passwords, or token-based techniques that require "something you know and something you have". The disadvantages of these systems include the risks of forgetfulness, loss, and theft. To address these shortcomings, biometric authentication is rapidly replacing traditional authentication methods and is becoming a part of everyday life. The electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the most recent traits considered for biometric purposes. In this work we describe an ECG-based authentication system suitable for security checks and hospital e…
This paper is targeted in the area of biometric data enabled security system based on the machine learning for the digital health. The disadvantages of traditional authentication systems include the risks of forgetfulness, loss, and theft. Biometric authentication is therefore rapidly replacing traditional authentication methods and is becoming an everyday part of life. The electrocardiogram (ECG) was recently introduced as a biometric authentication system suitable for security checks. The proposed authentication system helps investigators studying ECG-based biometric authentication technique…

Identification using biometrics is an important yet challenging task. Abundant research has been conducted on identifying personal identity or gender using given signals. Various types of biometrics such as electrocardiogram (ECG), electroencephalogram (EEG), face, fingerprint, and voice have been used for these tasks. Most research has only focused on single modality or a single task, while the combination of input modality or tasks is yet to be investigated. In this paper, we propose deep identification and gender classification using multimodal biometrics. Our model uses ECG, fingerprint, a…
Deep learning applied to electrocardiogram (ECG) data can be used to achieve personal authentication in biometric security applications, but it has not been widely used to diagnose cardiovascular disorders. We developed a deep learning model for the detection of arrhythmia in which time-sliced ECG data representing the distance between successive R-peaks are used as the input for a convolutional neural network (CNN). The main objective is developing the compact deep learning based detect system which minimally uses the dataset but delivers the confident accuracy rate of the Arrhythmia detectio…

Background:The electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the most commonly used diagnostic tools in medicine and healthcare. Deep learning methods have achieved promising results on predictive healthcare tasks using ECG signals. Objective:This paper presents a systematic review of deep learning methods for ECG data from both modeling and application perspectives. Methods:We extracted papers that applied deep learning (deep neural network) models to ECG data that were published between Jan. 1st of 2010 and Feb. 29th of 2020 from Google Scholar, PubMed, and the DBLP. We then analyzed each article accord…
