IIT Mandi Innovates Groundbreaking Behaviour Biometric-Based Authentication System, adapID
The system has been developed in collaboration with Deep Algorithms
Researchers from IIT Mandi, in collaboration with Deep Algorithms, are working on adapID, a pioneering breakthrough in secure authentication. Dr. Amit Shukla from the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics (CAIR) at IIT Mandi, and Mr. J.P. Mishra from Deep Algorithms, have spearheaded the development of this tool, a revolutionary behaviour biometric-based authentication system leveraging haptics data.
In today’s digitally driven landscape, organizations encounter the daunting challenge of safeguarding sensitive data against relentless cyber threats while ensuring a seamless user experience. Conventional authentication methods, relying on passwords and static security measures, prove inadequate, leaving organizations susceptible to breaches and burdening users with cumbersome access processes.
The escalating instances of cyber fraud, notably attributed to OTP compromises, have spurred organizations to seek robust solutions to fortify against unauthorized access and data breaches. Traditional authentication methods, dependent on passwords and OTPs, increasingly succumb to phishing attacks and brute force breaches, thereby compromising security and user satisfaction.
adapID will herald a paradigm shift in secure authentication by harnessing the potency of behavioural and physiological biometrics, offering unparalleled security measures. This innovative approach will obviate the necessity for passwords and OTPs, streamlining user access processes while bolstering defenses against emerging threats. The adapID AI adaptive authentication integrates behavioural and physiological biometrics, presenting a multi-layered authentication framework that dynamically adapts to evolving user behaviour. This password-less authentication system will employ advanced technology, encompassing invisible keyboard features and decentralized web protocols, to establish a novel standard in secure authentication.
Speaking about the multilayer authentication system, Dr. Amit Shukla said, “Our groundbreaking behaviour biometric-based system will redefine secure authentication, effectively eliminating the reliance on passwords and introducing seamless continuous authentication. With adapID, we not only aim to revolutionize security protocols but also empower organizations to navigate the complexities of the digital age with unwavering confidence.”
Key Features of adapID will Include:
• Behavioural Biometrics: Capturing unique user behaviour patterns for secure authentication.
• Continuous Authentication: Providing seamless authentication throughout user sessions, thereby enhancing security and productivity.
• Password-less Authentication: Eliminating traditional passwords, offering a secure and intuitive user experience.
adapID addresses an array of cyber threats, including fraud, unauthorized access, and phishing attacks, spanning across industries such as financial services, government, technology, and critical infrastructure. By furnishing the most robust form of authentication and discerning anomalies in user behaviour, adapID equips organizations with a dynamic and adaptive security posture.
A patent for this technology has been granted, and it has already been implemented in one bank and one forensic company. Additionally, the research team is currently in discussions with Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC) and Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) to deploy the system for Single Sign-On (SSO) across all government schemes. CDAC is actively seeking an advanced authentication mechanism, making this collaboration highly promising.
As organizations navigate the intricate landscape of cybersecurity threats, adapID will emerge as a pioneering solution, presenting a dynamic, adaptive, and secure authentication framework. With its innovative integration of behavioural biometrics and continuous authentication, the innovation will establish a new benchmark in secure authentication, empowering organizations to safeguard sensitive data.
