SUMMARY
Data security by using an alphanumeric combination password is no longer used, so it needs to be added security that is difficult to be manipulated by certain people. One type of security is the type of biometrics technology using face recognition which has different characteristics by combining the Viola-Jones algorithm to detect facial features, GLCM (Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix) for extracting the texture characteristics of an image, and Cosine Similarity for the measurement of the proximity of the data (image matching). The image will be detected using the Viola-Jones algorithm to get face, eyes, nose, and mouth. The image detection results will be calculated the value of the texture characteristics with the GLCM (Gray Level Cooccurrence Matrix) algorithm. Image matching using cosine similarity will determine or match the data stored in the database with new image input until identification results are obtained. The results obtained in this study get the level of accuracy of the identification of the three algorithms by 77.20% with the amount of data that was correctly identified as many as 386 out of 500 images.Keywords: Security, face recognition, Viola-Jones, Cosine Similarity.
