This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

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