    Biometrics and Retina Scan Technology: Lum Osmani Alex Chervenkov

    Uploaded by

    Anuj Kumar
    This document discusses retina scan technology for biometrics and security. It provides an overview of biometrics, explaining how they use physiological or behavioral traits to identify individuals. Retina scanning is highlighted as a highly accurate technology, though it has disadvantages of being intrusive and difficult for users. Potential applications of retina scans include computer and physical access control, especially for high-security areas like banks, military sites, and power plants. While retina scanning provides strong security, issues around user acceptance and cost may limit its future adoption.

    Biometrics and Retina Scan Technology

    Lum OSMANI Alex CHERVENKOV Course: Information Security

    April 2008

    Outline

    Biometrics Overview Biometrics Process Flow Retina Scan Technology Retina Scan and Security

    Applications
    Advantages and Disadvantages The Future of Retina Scan

    Biometrics Overview (1)



    Something you know - PIN / passwords
    Something you have - smart cards, security cards, ATM cards

    Biometrics - automated use of behavioral/physiological characteristics to determine/verify identity


    Who you are - fingerprints, eyes, faces and What you do - speaking, writing

    Biometrics Overview (2)


    Recognition by face is the oldest form
    of identification method.

    Due to technological advancement


    biometrics system has become available over the last few decades.

    The word biometrics comes from two

    Greek terms bios for life and metros for measure.

    Why Biometrics?
    Greater degree of security over
    traditional authentication methods

    Accountability - who/when/what Fraud detection Convenience Cost savings/reduced risk of financial


    loss

    Biometrics! How it works?

    Retina Scan Technology!


    Enroll = personal information + retina scan
    Feature Extraction + conversion to unique 96 bytes templates Second time = current template compared with the enrollment template

    Retina Scan and Security!


    Accurate biometric technology Retina - unique to the individual, very difficult to spoof False Acceptance Rate (FAR) - less then 0.0001% False Rejection Rate (FRR) - 10%

    Applications!
    Logging into the computer system Physical Access Systems Bank vaults, server rooms, control
    tower

    Military installations, power plants,


    high-end security applications

    Advantages...
    High accuracy Sample usability Fraud resistance Small template size

    Disadvantages...
    Hard to use, high-skill requirement Hard to enroll Consumer perception about the eye
    itself

    Intrusive technology High cost

    The Future of Retina Scan!?


    The most accurate and reliable
    biometric technology

    Located in high security areas It still remains an intrusive technology Hard to get the user acceptance
