New Method for Digital Economy User's Protection

This paper analyses the existing approaches to the identification/authentication of users in the digital economy systems, and consideres options for functioning in trusted/untrusted environments. There is shown that currently known biometric features, which are effectively used in forensic science, do not allow the digital economy to guarantee protection against the influence of malicious software. As result of this study a new approach have been determined to the specific security requirements for computer systems in the digital economy conditions. This approach will allow to establish the authenticity of the data source and increase the reliability of identification, and the combination of several biometric modalities, supplemented by an analysis of at least one of the possible physiological (reflex) reactions, will significantly increase the accuracy of biometric identification and provide a solution to the vital problem. As the result of this research, a Patent was obtained for a new "Interactive method of biometric user authentication".
