• Disadvantages of Biometric
• Conclusion
Three main type of Authentication

• Something you know,like a password,PIN,or code.

• Something you have,like token or key.

• Something you are ,which is Biometric

 What is a biometric ?
• Biometrics are automated method of identifying a person verifying
the identity of a person based on a physiological or behavioural
characteristic.
• Most definitive,real-time tool available today.
• Can be combined with other tools to form more secure,easier to use
verification solutions.
• Recognizes individuals definitively.
Characteristics

 The common physical characteristics are:

Fingerprint
Face
Retina
Iris
Vein pattern
Hand and finger geometry
Characteristics
Behavioral characteristic are:

• Keystroke dynamics

• Voice

• Gait

• Signature dynamic
Fingerprint Recognition steps :
Face Recognition process :
Iris Identification Steps :
Vein recognitions System :
Signature Verification Process :
• The angle at which the pen is held,
• The number of times the pen iis lifted,
• The time it takes to write the entire signature ,
• The pressure exerted by the person while signing,
• The variations in the speed with which different parts of the signature
are written.
Application Area of biometric
• Enterprise and E-Government services
• National security
• Airport ,bank,offices.
• Recently implemented in ATM,voting Machine
• Internet banking
• Biometric time Attendance System
•
Advantages of biometrics
• Uniqueness
• Universality
• Permanence
• Measurability
• User friendliness
• Accurancy
• Comfort
Disadvantages of biometrics
• Costly.
• Facial imaging can also hinder accurate identification.
• Missing body part problem.
• False acceptances and rejections.
• The scanning of eye is feaful.
• The nervousness that people feel about the scanners identification.
Conclusion
• Not perfect yet
• Successful applications.
• Decreasing costs and increasing convenience .
• Increasing both biometrics is evolving.
• Benefit from this technology.
