Abstract

This chapter presents a review on a new subfield of security research which transforms and expands the domain of biometrics beyond biological entities to include virtual reality entities, such as avatars, which are rapidly becoming a part of society. Artimetrics research at Cybersecurity Lab, University of Louisville, USA, and Biometric Technologies Lab, University of Calgary, Canada, builds on and expands such diverse fields of science as forensics, robotics, virtual worlds, computer graphics, biometrics, and security. Analyzing the visual properties and behavioral profiling can ensure verification and recognition of avatars. This chapter introduces a multimodal system for artificial entities recognition, simultaneously profiling multiple independent physical and behavioral characteristic of an entity, and creating a new generation multimodal system capable of authenticating both biological (human being) and non-biological (avatars) entities. At the end, this chapter focuses on some future research directions by discussing robotic biometrics beyond images and text-based communication to intelligent software agents that can emulate human intelligence. As artificial intelligence and virtual reality domains evolve, they will in turn give rise to new generation security solutions to identity management spanning both human and artificial entity worlds.
