Newbies in biometrics - please guide

[kartik saxena]

Have started working on my final year thesis , something along the
following lines.

Multi-modal passive biometric verification system that continually
verifies the presence/participation of a logged-in user. Assume that
the user logged in using strong authentication prior to the starting
of the continuous verification process. The main thrust of my work is
to build a multi-modal biometric feedback mechanism into the operating
system so that verification failure can automatically lock up the
computer within some estimate of the time it takes to subvert the
computer.

We are a team of 3 guys , and I am looking into the kernel part , so
needed some guidance of yours , if possible. What I think , is that i
may have to code a module that tracks the various users logged in ,
and tag the process belonging to the user.
The statistical model then decide the validity of the user , and if
the imposter is detected , the various processes of that user are
killed after a certain amount of time.

we are using secure Gen mouse as a biometric.

I have to start work , could you guide me about how to go on the
kernel part . Currently I am not able to get information about
implementation of process , users concept in linux and how to access
them.
.

We will be thankful for any type of guidance , and mentorship from
this group
