Advantage and Disadvantages

What is Biometrics
Definition:
Automated measurement of Physiological and/or
behavioral characteristics to determine or
authenticate identity

Biometrics is a security solution based on

something you know, have, and are:
Know
Password, PIN
Have
Key, Smart Card
Are
Fingerprint, Face, Iris

Automated measurement
No human involvement.
Comparison takes place in Real-Time.

Physiological and/or behavioral characteristics

1. Behavioral:
User speaks.
Signs name

2. Physiological:
Fingerprint
Hand
Eyes
Face

determine or authenticate identity

Verification Systems

More accurate.
Less expensive.
Faster.
More limited in function.
Requires more effort by user.

Why Biometrics?

Why Biometrics?

Passwords are not reliable.

Too many
Can be stolen
Forgotten

Protect Sensitive Information

Banking
Medical

How biometric work

How biometric work

Biometrics work by recording and

comparing biometric characteristics.
There are two type for biometric recognition

1.

Identification

2.

Verification

Identification
It mean identify and analyze the humane
unique characteristic.
It can divided in two types

1.

Behavioral

2.

Physiological

Identify Methods

Fingerprint

Face Recognition

Signature

Iris Scan

Hand

Biometrics Verification

Firstly collects data and information convert

to digital format.

Then process the information and keep it.

Because that need to compare with new
biometric data

After check and compare with new biometric

data with data storage.

Finally recognize whether that information

are real

E.g.- In ATM machine verify your pass word

or finger mark & If it is true then you can
withdraw money.

There are many types of bio metrics devices

Commonly using 5 types of devices
Iris scanner
Finger print scanner
Facial Biometrics
Voice Recognition
Other

iris scanner

This scanner use for identify humens iris

Finger print Scanner

Private and government sectors is using

Finger print devices
Earlier days used ink and paper method

Facial Biometrics

Each and every persons have different and

unique face.
Use series of images for identify persons

Voice Recognition

Some computer systems have voice

recognition method
Voice recognition is not the same as speech
recognition, it is speaker recognition

FINGERPRINTS

DISADVANTAGES
Some people have poor
prints because of injury,
age, disease or
occupation. Requires
physical contact with a
sensor and may have
negative connotations
because of use by law
enforcement.

ADVANTAGES
A long-used method that
is familiar and generally
quick perform.
Fingerprints are unique.
A set of 10 prints yields
highly accurate results.
Cheap and easy to use.

DISADVANTAGES.
Not suited for picking
someone out of a large
group. Sensors are large
and relatively expensive

ADVANTAGES.
Fast and easy to use.
Rugged and works well
outdoors.

ADVANTAGES.

Can use standard

microphone or telephone
handset and existing
telephone lines.

DISADVANTAGES

Background noise, illness

or stress can affect voice
samples. Most accurate if
similar instruments
capture voice samples at
enrollment and
verification points. Not
suited for picking
someone out of a large
group.
