Authentication is the process of verifying the claimed identity of the user. Recently, traditional authentication methods such as passwords, tokens, and so on are no longer used for authentication as they are more prone to theft and different types of violations. Therefore, new authentication approaches based on biometric modalities such as heartbeat pattern obtained from electrocardiogram (ECG) signals are considered. Unlike other biometrics, ECG provides the assurance that the person is alive, and is considered as one of the most accurate recent methods for authentication. In this article, two end-to-end deep neural network models for ECG-based authentication are proposed. In the first model, a convolutional neural network (CNN) is developed and in the second model, a residual convolutional neural network (ResNet) with attention mechanism called ResNet-Attention is designed for human authentication. We have used 2-s duration ECG signals obtained from two ECG databases (Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt [PTB] and Check Your Bio-signals Here initiative [CYBHi]) for authentication. Our proposed ResNet-Attention algorithm achieved an accuracy of 98.85 and 99.27% using PTB and CYBHi, respectively. The results obtained by our developed model show that the performance is better than existing algorithms and can be used in real-time authentication systems after the validation with more diverse ECG data. |
