Pros and Cons
4. • something you know, like a password, PIN,
or code.
• something you have, like a swipe card, smart
card etc.
• something you are, which is biometrics.
three main types of authentication
available today are:
5. What is a biometric?
Biometrics
•Is the term given to the use of
biological traits OR
behavioral characteristics
to identify an individual.
6. The Biometric importance
The security is needed in every place.
Eliminate the existing problems, Like
those which can be taken, stolen,
borrowed or even forgotten.
7. The Biometric importance (Cont.)
Improves convenience, security, and privacy.
The first and most critical link in the security
chain.
8. Biometrics History
The term "biometrics" is derived from the Greek words
bio which means
(life)
and metric means
(to measure).
9. Biometrics History (Cont.)
the first known example of biometrics in practice was a
form of finger printing being used in China in the 14th
century.
10. Biometrics History (Cont.)
In the 1890s, 'Bertillonage', created a method of bodily
measurement with the criminals who repeated the
crimes with different names and looks.
11. Biometrics History (Cont.)
After this, finger printing, which was developed
by Richard Edward Henry of Scotland Yard.
13. Fingerprint Recognition:
Fingerprint Recognition is the identification by
using patterns of friction ridges and valleys on
an individual's fingertips which are unique to
that individual.
20. •the angle at which the pen is held,
•the number of times the pen is lifted,
•the time it takes to write the entire signature,
the pressure exerted by the person while signing,
Signature Verification Process (Cont.)
Biometric
trait
24. Veins Recognition:
Venial Recognition: A system for Identification using
a person’s unique vein patterns.
Veins as a biometrics tool involve the measurement
of the blood vessels on the back of your hand.
27. Voice Recognition:
Voice Recognition: is the Identification using
the acoustic features of speech that have been
found to differ between individuals.
33. Other Applications (Cont.)
• Fujitsu has developed a mouse that can verify a
person's identity by recognizing his pattern of
blood veins.
34. Advantages of biometrics
1. Uniqueness
2. Time security
3. Reduce Fraud
4. No Forgotten Password
5. Accuracy
6. Accountability
35. Disadvantages of Biometrics
1. costly.
2. Facial imaging can also hinder accurate
identifications.
3. Missing body part problem.
36. Disadvantages of Biometrics
(Cont.)
4. False acceptances and rejections.
5. The amount of comfort.
6. The scanning of eye is fearful.
7. The nervousness that people feel about the
scanners identification.
37. Future Prospects
Biometry is one of the most promising and life-altering
technologies in existence today. It is all set to
change the way we live in the future. Some of the
emerging biometrics technologies in the near
future are:
1. Ear shape identification.
2. Body odor identification.
3. Body salinity identification.
4. EEG Fingerprint
5. DNA matching
38. Conclusion
Not perfect yet.
Successful applications.
Decreasing costs and increasing convenience.
Increasing both privacy and identity security.
The field of biometrics is evolving.
Benefit from this technology .
