The Evolving Landscape of Cloud-based Biometric Authentication: Balancing Security, Privacy, and User Convenience

Abstract

As digital platforms become increasingly essential for both personal and professional activities, the need
for authentication methods that are robust and easy to use is growing. Cloud-based biometric authentication has
emerged as a promising solution, offering improved security and convenience compared to traditional password-based
methods. However, this technology raises significant concerns regarding data privacy and security, highlighting the
importance of careful implementation. This research examines the evolving landscape of cloud-based biometric
authentication, evaluating its benefits and challenges in striking a balance between security, privacy, and user
convenience. It also considers ethical implications and potential future research directions in this rapidly evolving field.
