7. BIOMETRIC TECHNOLOGY

8. What is Biometric?
The Science of measuring
and statistically analyzing
biological data

9. What is Biometric?
Biometric Technology
Authentication can be divided into three
different factors:
• something you know
• something you have
• something you are
9 © RiTech International Ltd, Confidential & Proprietary

10. Something you know
Common
• Pin Numbers/Code
• Learn it , You have to remember the
Code Number
• Forced to memorize passwords
Disadvantage:-
Software hacking tools via
internet, easy to steal by
anyone. (e.g. Keylogger)
10 © RiTech International Ltd, Confidential & Proprietary

11. Something you have
Example Smart cards
• Cash Card
• ATM Card
• Visa/Master Card
• Door/Building Access Card
Disadvantage:-
If picked up by anyone, it can still be
used. (e.g. Paying at a Petrol Station)

12. Something you are
Biometrics is what you are!
What you have:
1. Your Finger > Fingerprint
2. You cannot loose it
3. You cannot give it away
You cannot tell a friend to use your prints.

13. Types of Biometric
1. BEHAVIOURAL
– Voice Patterns
– Signature Verification
– Key Stroke Patterns (Signatures)
2. PHYSIOLOGICAL
– Fingerprints
– Hand Geometry
– Retinal & Iris Scanning
– Facial Recognition
– DNA Fingerprinting

14. Biometric Comparison
Comparison of various biometric
technologies
It is possible to understand if a human characteristic can be
used for biometrics in terms of the following parameters:
• Universality => each person should have the characteristic
• Uniqueness => is how well the biometric separates individually
from another.
• Permanence => measures how well a biometric resists aging.
• Collectability => ease of acquisition for measurement.
• Performance => accuracy, speed, and robustness of
technology used.
• Acceptability => degree of approval of a technology.
• Circumvention => ease of use of a substitute.

16. Fingerprint Identification
Minutiae Definition
• Form of Fingerprint
• Number of Lines
• Distance Between Marks
16 © RiTech International Ltd, Confidential & Proprietary

17. Processing & Identification
Fingerprint
How many minutiae are needed for
comparison?
–Generally, a complete
fingerprint is made up
of up to 100 minutiae
–Fingerprint recognition
normally requires 20~30
minutiae for processing

21. WHY?
• Threat of data theft is real and costly
• Affects employees negatively
• Affects company negatively
• Loss of productivity and credibility
• Loss of profits and sustainability
21 © RiTech International Ltd, Confidential & Proprietary

22. HOW?
• Physical theft and hacking
Actual device is stolen and tapped for data
• Social engineering
Passwords or access keys can be coaxed
• Virtual hacking and theft
Popular method of data theft
• Man-in-the-Middle attacks
Spying and snooping on communications
