深度人脸匹配器可天然实现可撤销生物特征,模板被盗也无效。

Deep CNN Face Matchers Inherently Support Revocable Biometric Templates

  • 同一骨干网络生成多个互不兼容的匹配模型
  • 不同模型间识别能力相当,误识率同为1/10000
  • 被盗模板比随机冒充者还难匹配,适合高安全场景

生物特征认证常被诟病:一旦生物特征泄露便无法挽回。可撤销生物特征方案旨在解决此问题——用户可注销当前模板,使其失效,并重新注册新模板,仍保持原有识别能力。本文证明,现代深度卷积神经网络(CNN)人脸匹配器天然支持这一机制。基于同一先进骨干网络和训练集,可生成无限多个具有相同识别性能但模板高度不兼容的匹配模型。这些模型在相似度维度上的真伪分布形状与位置完全一致,可共享1/10,000误识率的阈值。不同模型间的模板极不兼容:同一人跨模型相似度通常低于不同人同模型的相似度。这意味着,被窃取的旧模板用于冒充新注册身份时,其匹配效果甚至不如普通冒充者。此外,本文对比了视觉变换器(ViT)骨干网络,发现其在该体系中表现逊于典型ResNet-based CNN骨干网络。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

One common critique of biometric authentication is that if an individual's biometric is compromised, then the individual has no recourse. The concept of revocable biometrics was developed to address this concern. A biometric scheme is revocable if an individual can have their current enrollment in the scheme revoked, so that the compromised biometric template becomes worthless, and the individual can re-enroll with a new template that has similar recognition power. We show that modern deep CNN face matchers inherently allow for a robust revocable biometric scheme. For a given state-of-the-art deep CNN backbone and training set, it is possible to generate an unlimited number of distinct face matcher models that have both (1) equivalent recognition power, and (2) strongly incompatible biometric templates. The equivalent recognition power extends to the point of generating impostor and genuine distributions that have the same shape and placement on the similarity dimension, meaning that the models can share a similarity threshold for a 1-in-10,000 false match rate. The biometric templates from different model instances are so strongly incompatible that the cross-instance similarity score for images of the same person is typically lower than the same-instance similarity score for images of different persons. That is, a stolen biometric template that is revoked is of less value in attempting to match the re-enrolled identity than the average impostor template. We also explore the feasibility of using a Vision Transformer (ViT) backbone-based face matcher in the revocable biometric system proposed in this work and demonstrate that it is less suitable compared to typical ResNet-based deep CNN backbones.
