International Standardization of New Authentication Accuracy Evaluation Method Using Two Statistical Models of Extreme Value Theory

Abstract

With the progress of biometric authentication technology, its accuracy is becoming more sophisticated. For this reason, a huge amount of biometric data is required for accuracy evaluation, and the collection cost is an issue for biometric authentication vendors. In order to reduce the collection cost, we have been researching and developing biometric accuracy evaluation methods using extreme value statistical models. These methods have been recognized and international standardization has begun. In this paper, we will explain the background of these studies, the new accuracy evaluation methods utilizing the developed extreme value statistics, the points and effects of applying extreme value theory, and future standardization trends.
