Azzini, A., Marrasa, S., Sassi, R., & Scotti, F. (2008, September). A fuzzy approach to multimodal biometric continuous authentication. Fuzzy Optimization & Decision Making, 7(3), 243-256. doi: 10.1007/s10700-008-9034-1
This article examines the use of multiple authentication methods to increase the security of a system. Moreover, with the use of biometric methods, the author seeks to show that authentication can occur continually during the time the resources are being utilized.
Within the article the authors point out the use of biometric and multi-modal authentication techniques, pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of different authentication approaches. The article has substantial background information and study results, not only point out the impact of such methods but also shows how the active authentication can take place to benefit the …show more content…

(2015, May). A novel biometric authentication approach using ECG and EMG signals. Journal of Medical Engineering & Technology, 39(4), 226-238. doi:10.3109/03091902.2015.1021429
The article explores the use of ECG and EMG signals to improve authentication. This is based on the issues with current biometric authentication methods, which can be circumvented because they do not measure if the authenticating participant is alive. The paper proposes methods for normalizing heartbeat information from other background noise to produce a reliable means of authentication.

The authors’ study was objectively removed from participants due to collecting the information from five databases containing cardiograms collected from the palms of patients. Additionally, the authors make a declaration of interest to assure readers of their objectivity. Lastly, this is a well referenced and comprehensive article that lead the reader to understand the accuracy of such methods, which can also be used to describe the benefits of active
