Abstract

In today’s world it is quite common for anyone to find and use any form of biometric authentication. However, most systems use unimodal biometrics, which only requires the user to submit one form of trait. However, these systems carry several limitations and are proven to show signs of one or more weakness. In this esteem, it is welcome the implementation of multimodal biometrics systems that combine palmprint and voice recognition to overcome the limitations directly related to unimodal systems. Multimodal biometric systems merge information gathered, in this paper a case study using voice and palmprint was analyzed to improve the performance metrics by reducing the false acceptance rate (FAR) and false rejection rate (FRR).
