AUTHENTICATION
Authentication is a process where users
verify that they are who they say they are.
The user who attempts to perform
functions in a system is in fact the user
who is authorised to do so.

Identification
-present what the user has
Verification

ACCESS DENIED

-Verify the validity of the

ID

ACCESS GRANTED

METHODS OF AUTHENTICATION
1. Biometric device
Device that translates personal
characteristics into a digital code that is
compared with a digital code stored in
the database.
2. Callback system
The checking system that authenticates
the user.

BIOMETRIC DEVICES

FINGERPRINT RECOGNITION
Besides checking the fingerprint, it also measures blood flow to
avoid a fake finger from being used.
FACIAL RECOGNITION
It analyses the characteristics of an individual's face images
captured through a digital video camera.
HAND GEOMETRY SCANNING
It involves the measurement and analysis of the shape of a
persons hand.

IRIS SCANNING
It analyses the features that exist in the coloured tissues surrounding the
pupil which has more than 200 points that can be used for comparison,
including rings, furrows and freckles.
The scans use a regular video camera and work perfectly fine through
glasses and has the ability to create an accurate enough measurement.

RETINAL SCANNING
It involves the scanning of retina and analysing the layer of blood vessels at
the back of the eye.

VOICE RECOGNITION
It compares a persons live speech with the stored voice pattern in the
database.

SIGNATURE VERIFICATION SYSTEM

The authenticity of a writer is determined by comparing an input signature to
a stored reference set (template) consisting of three signatures.

CALLBACK SYSTEM
The callback system is commonly used in
the bank operation and business
transaction.
For example, when you called a McDonald
Delivery Services, the operator wil ask you
to hang up since he wants to link you with
the other worker.

CONCLUSION
Authentication is important in order to safeguard
against the unauthorised access and use.
