what do you know about Biometrics and how it works?

1. Biometrics Technology

3. something you have, like a swipe card, smart card, token, or key.

5. Characteristics The common Physical characteristics are: Fingerprint Face Retina Iris Vein pattern, and Hand and finger geometry

6. Characteristics Behavioral characteristics are: Keystroke dynamics Voice Gait, and Signature dynamics

7. The Biometric importance The security is needed in every place. Alleviate the existing problems, Like those which can be taken, stolen, borrowed or even forgotten.

8. The Biometric importance (Cont.) Improves convenience, security, and privacy. The first and most critical link in the security chain. presented to counteract security threats.

9. Biometrics History The term "biometrics" is derived from the Greek words (life) and metric means (to measure). bio which means

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. Biometrics History (Cont.) After this, finger printing, which was developed by Richard Edward Henry of Scotland Yard.

13. Biometrics Process new biometric sample is requested. No Quality Sufficient? Signal Processing, Feature Extraction, Representation Biometric Data Collection Transmission Yes Generate Template Database Template Match Decision Confidence? Yes No

14. Physical Characteristics

15. 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.

16. Fingerprint Recognition steps: Database

17. Face Recognition: Face recognition uses the visible physical structure of the face and analyses the spatial geometry of distinguishing features in it to identify an individual.

18. Face recognition process: Extraction of face features Input face image Extraction of face image Positive Database negative

19. Iris Identification: The iris is the colored ring of textured tissue that surrounds the pupil of the eye.

20. Iris Identification Steps: Input of face image Recognition of iris pattern Detection of eye regions Put iris in focus accept Database reject

22. Behavioral Characteristics

23. Voice Recognition: Voice Recognition: is the Identification using the acoustic features of speech that have been found to differ between individuals.

24. Voice Identification System Construct voice reference template Database

25. Signature Identification: Signature identification: is the analyses of the way a user signs his or her name. The process used by a biometric system to verify a signature is called dynamic signature verification (DSV).

31. Applications of Biometric

36. Advantages of biometrics Uniqueness Universality Permanence Measurability User friendliness Accuracy Comfort

37. Disadvantages of Biometrics costly. Facial imaging can also hinder accurate identifications. Missing body part problem.

38. Disadvantages of Biometrics (Cont.) False acceptances and rejections. The amount of comfort. The scanning of eye is fearful. The nervousness that people feel about the scanners identification.

39. 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: Ear shape identification. Body odor identification. Body salinity identification. EEG Fingerprint DNA matching

40. 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 .
