  2. What are Biometrics? Biometrics Overview • Automated methods of identifying or verifying the identity of a person based on a physiological or behavioral characteristic • Physical: • Fingerprint • Facial Recognition • Hand Geometry • Iris Scan • Retinal Scan • DNA • Behavioral: • Speaker Recognition • Signature Recognition

  3. Biometrics Overview 2 ways to recognize a person: • Verification • Am I who I claim to be? • Identification • Who am I? Confirm or establish identity based on who person is • NOT what person possesses • ID card • NOT what person remembers • Password

  4. Fingerprint • Fingerprint Pattern Analysis • Applications: • Law Enforcement • Entry Devices for Buildings • Computer Network Access • New: grocery stores checkout, ATM authorization

  5. Face characteristics analysis • Typical system: digital video camera input of a person’s face images- measures facial structure; compares against database • Applications: • Law enforcement • Automated bank tellers- user verification purposes Facial Recognition

  6. Hand Geometry • Hand shape analysis and measurement • Typical system: scanners with guidance pegs that position the hand property for analysis • Applications: • San Francisco International Airport • Immigration facilities • Day Care Centers

  7. Iris Recognition • Iris analysis • Typical system: scanner analyzes the colored tissue around the pupil • Applications: • Law Enforcement • Employee Security Check • Streamline boarding procedures (frequent passengers – Charlotte NC)

  8. Retina Scanning • Analysis of layer of blood vessels at the back of the eye • Typical system: low-intensity light source, the user needs to remove glasses, keep the eye focused on the light, 15 seconds • Applications: • High-end security: military, power plans

  9. DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) • A DNA sample is used to produce either a DNA fingerprint or a DNA profile • Applications: • Medical applications • Paternity Tests • Criminal identification and forensics • Personal Identification: DNA PAK38 (Personal Archival Kit): conserving a sample so the person can be identified in case of kidnapping, accidents or natural disasters. • Commercial applications limited

  10. Speaker Recognition • Voice print analysis • Typical system: uses the pitch, pattern, tone, rhythm of speech for identification purposes; only biometric that allows users to authenticate remotely • Applications: • Call Centers • Law enforcement – house arrest authentication • Electronic commerce • Customer authentication for service calls

  11. Signature Recognition • Handwriting analysis • Typical System: user will sign on a tablet, the device will record pressure, speed, sequence and shape of characters and compare to a database • Applications • Access to documents • Execution of contracts • Banking services

  12. Comparison Chart Use Verification: Input compared to data previously recorded to see if the person is who she claims to be. Identification: input compared to data previously recorded to see who the person is. Biometric not capable Biometric capable

  13. Comparison Chart Accuracy/Reliability Accuracy: How well can the specific biometric is able to tell individual apart Reliability: how dependable the specific biometric is for recognition purposes

  14. Comparison Chart Characteristics User Acceptance: willingness of the public to accept the use of the specific biometric Ease of Use: - for both user and personnel Low Cost: is there a low cost option for the specific biometric no Hardware: type and cost of hardware required to use the specific biometric • .yes

  15. Comparison Accuracy vs. Cost

  16. Traditional verification methods: What Biometrics are Replacing • Passwords • PIN numbers • Tokens • Photo ID cards • Smart cards • Magnetic strip cards • Physical keys • Key chains

  17. Benefits of Biometrics - Increased security - Convenience - Opportunity to build a sustainable competitive advantage - Growing technology and advancement

  18. Conclusion For Employers For Employees • Increased security measures due to lack of sharing passwords and identification cards • Reduce costs of password and ID card maintenance • Reduce payroll costs of “buddy punching” timecards • Sustainable competitive advantage for businesses – advanced technology to ensure security for clientele • Ability to track employees and link activities • Convenience – no passwords to forget • Eliminate problems of long passwords and lost/stolen identification cards and PIN numbers • Faster login time • Improved security of sensitive information
