Project Abstract

In spite of their widespread use and ubiquity, passwords are unreliable as an

authentication methodology because they can be hacked or even guessed, yet when it comes to

biometrics it is very hard to impersonate someone. Therefore, biometric authentication schemes

are currently widely recognized as the strongest authentication technologies available on the

market.

Identity providers and claims-based identity are emerging technologies that aims to

decouple the authentication logic from the applicationâs business logic. This can be done by

assigning the authentication task to the identity provider and establishing a trust relationship

between the application and the identity provider so that the application relies on the identity

provider to authenticate the application users.

The project aims to develop an identity provider that uses fingerprint and facial

biometrics to authenticate users. The identity provider task is to determine the identity of the user

and pass the identity information to the relying applications which trust this identity provider.

For security purposes, the biometrics data of users is stored on a local server within the

sponsoring companyâs intranet. This local server is located behind firewalls and itâs address can

only be resolved internally within the intranet due to use of NAT. Therefore, the server doesnât

have a global IP address. Windows Azure cloud platform has a powerful component called

âWindows Azure Service Busâ which was used to solve this tough connectivity problem.

The project also aims to develop a simple employees management application that can be

used as an example of a relying application that relies on the developed identity provider to

authenticate the users.

Project management principles and software development lifecycle techniques were

applied during the project implementation. This approach has significantly streamlined the

project implementation process and the project objectives have been met.
