Biometrics is, “the automated use of physiological or behavioral characteristics to determine or verify identity (biometricgroup.com, 2014).”16 The purpose of the paper is to provide information about different forms of Biometrics. With the ever increasing threat of terrorism at home and abroad, biometrics is emerging as a way to increase security across the world. It is important to point out current issues dealing with Biometrics and how they relate to people that may one day have to use them
Biometrics The term biometrics is commonly known as the field of development of statistical and mathematical methods applicable to data analysis problems in the biological sciences. Though, even more recently it has taken on a whole new definition. Biometrics is an amazing new topic referring to “the emerging field of technology devoted to the identification of individuals using biological traits, based on retinal or iris scanning, fingerprints, or face recognition”. Biometrics has already
would become more difficult to conceptualize and do not lend themselves to the development of a static set of rules (Moor, 1985). I have taken up the research topic Biometrics and Ethics and would like to analyze how Biometric has become part of our everyday life and with it what are the ethical challenges human race faces. Biometrics is the statistical measure of biological beings; it is a system which is used in identifying a person by verifying a physical characteristic or attribute. The reason
information, the concept of “Biometric Technology” has been developed in the last years. This essay will start explaining this concept and the characteristics of its development through the time. Then, the essay will offer a brief explanation of biometric systems operation and a description of different biometric systems developed until now. Finally, this research analyzes the current and future applications and the issues that surround it. The purpose of biometrics is to identify a person based
1.0 INTRODUCTION OF BIOMETRICS A thousands years ago until now, human use their physical and behaviour characteristic to recognize such as face, voice, . However, in the middle of 19th century, chief of the criminal identification division of the police department in Paris, Alphonse Bertillon, had idea to use body measurements to identify crime. In late 19th century, it was identified with the discovery of far more important and practical distinctiveness of human fingerprint. Soon after this discovery
The Benefits of Biometrics By definition Biometrics are automated methods of recognizing a person based on a physiological or behavioral characteristic (Campbell, 1995). More and more businesses are now using biometrics as a preferred measure over traditional methods involving passwords and PIN numbers for 2 reasons; The person being identified is required to be physically present at the point of identification; Identification based on biometrics techniques removes the need to remember a password
Biometrics can be used as a method of identification for accessing a computer, room, or anything where identity needs to be provided to access information or equipment. Some people resist biometrics because of the concerns in which their privacy will be invaded or they think technology is getting too intrusive on people personal lives. Biometrics is not flawless and does have some privacy related issues. There are mechanism that can be put in place which could mitigate these problems and concerns
Background: Biometric and encryption sounds are not too fresh, for most users, any of each technology alone is not enough to make you feel excitement. However, If we develop a new study or a new technology, which combine the biometrics and encryption. We can find that the technology combining these two techniques are very amazing. It is easy to think of biometrics as the future science technology are always happened in some fictions, associated with solar car and clones together. In fact, it has
Now-a-day, biometric authentication system or simply biometric system, offers a reliable and user-friendly solution to the problem of identity management by establishing the identity of an individual based on “who the person is”, rather than the knowledge-based i.e. “what the person knows" or token-based i.e. “what the person carries” (Jain et al., 1999). The word biometrics is derived from the Greek words bios (meaning life) and metron (meaning measurement); biometric identifiers are measurements
Future of Biometrics Biometrics is described as the use of human physical features to verify identity and has been in use since the beginning of recorded history. Only recently, biometrics has been used in today’s high-tech society for the prevention of identity theft. In this paper, we will be understanding biometrics, exploring the history of biometrics, examples of today’s current technology and where biometrics are expected to go in the future. By definition, “biometrics” (Woodward, Orlans
again. One of the most recent and secure ways to protect information is through the use of biometrics: which compares a user’s biometric data against the data stored in the system.5 The biometric system is designed to use the following four modules: 1. Sensor Module. The sensor module captures the biometric data from an individual. 2. Feature Extraction Module. The feature extraction module processes the biometric data to extract a feature set, or salient features. Any unnecessary or extraneous information
Biometrics is a preset method to recognize a person based on a physiological or behavioral attribute. The present features are face recognition, fingerprints, handwriting, hand geometry, iris, vein, voice and retinal scan. In the early years of the 21st century, we find ourselves persistently moving further away from the stipulation of physical human interface playing a major part of basic everyday tasks. Striding ever closer to an programmed society, we interact more habitually with mechanical
the pool of data within the company. These precautions include access management (access control) as well as access technology (biometrics). Industries around the world have agreed that strong access control, biometrics and security practices should be the cornerstone of every security strategy. So I will be going over the basics and each type of access control and biometrics and then I will supplement a recommendation that will provide the best security for the software company. First I will be going
Iris recognition is one of commonly employed biometric for personal recognition. In this paper, Single Value Decomposition (SVD), Principal Component Analysis (PCA), Automatic Feature Extraction (AFE) and Independent Component Analysis (ICA) are employed to extract the iris feature from a pattern named IrisPattern based on the iris image. The IrisPatterns are classified using a Feedforward Backpropagation Neural Network (BPNN) and Support Vector Machines (SVM) with Radial Basis Function (RBF) kernel
field is that of Biometrics. A field that essentially coincided with the growth of modern day computer science. Biometrics is essentially identifying human beings by their characteristics. Biometrics is defined as a process or to describe a characteristic as it is a general term. In regards of the characteristic portion of the definition, it is a measurable behavioral, physiological and anatomical characteristic that can be used for automated recognition. In regards of Biometrics as a process, it’s
BIOMETRICS As humans, we have always had the need and urge to identify the people around us. With the massive rise in population, this urge has gradually transformed into a necessity. We have typically used passwords or physical identification in the form of driver’s license, passport, etc. as proof of identity. However, with the increase in incidents of frauds and thefts where illegal or stolen documents have been produced to get unauthorized access, and rise in the cases of identity thefts, it
Biometrics is the measurement and statistical analysis of people's physical and behavioral characteristics. The technology is mainly used for identification and access control, or for identifying individuals that are under surveillance. The basic premise of biometric authentication is that everyone is unique and an individual can be identified by his or her intrinsic physical or behavioral traits. (The term "biometrics" is derived from the Greek words "bio" meaning life and "metric" meaning to measure
The world of Biometric Security Biometrics is methods of recognizing a person based on a physiological or behavioral characteristic. Some of the features measured in biometrics identification that I will include in this paper are: fingerprints, retina, face, signature, and voice scans. Biometric technologies are quickly becoming the foundation for a large array of highly secure identification and personal verification techniques. As the level of security and transaction fraud increases, the
Biometric technologies “Biometrics is certainly the most secure form of authentication, it's the hardest to imitate and duplicate." - Avivah Litan By Jacky Mai The term biometrics is comes from the Greek words bio “life” and metrics “measurement”. Biometrics are unique physical characteristics that can be used for automated recognition, this can range from any physical feature on your body including your eyes, nose, face. In 1858, “William Herschel was working for the civil service
this two days, the using of the Biometrics have been increased to a high level of using it around the world, so it has been too widespread, a lot of the banks, malls, computing companies and etc… using it in their security systems, and they use it in an international ways of using, perhaps they have been learned to using it in a different ways, but also they have been a proficient users of it, they can access their information but in a security way that is Biometrics, so for example there is a bank
