ECG Security Identification System on the Zynq SoC Platform

Electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the most safety-relevant biometrics due to its live indication and the unique specific waveform. This paper presents an approach for a security identification system and its System-on-Chip (SoC) implementation. The design of the proposed solution has been validated using both MATLAB and Vivado high-level synthesis tools. The achieved implementation results show that the proposed ECG identification method has not only met the real-time processing requirements, but it also consumes only 33% of the available on-chip logic resources of a Xilinx Zynq 7010 SoC with a high identification accuracy.
