 Three main types of authentication available
today are:

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

 Something you have, like a swipe card, smart card,

token, or key.

 Something you are, which is biometrics.

Biometrics as Authentication
Authentication depends on
 What you have
 What you know
 What you ARE !
 What is a biometric?

 Biometrics are automated methods of identifying a

person or verifying the identity of a person based on a
physiological or behavioural characteristic.

 Biometrics can be used to improve security and

prevent fraud, as they are difficult to duplicate or fake.

 Biometric data is typically captured using specialized

sensors or scanners, and is then converted into a digital
format for processing.
 Characteristics

The common Physical characteristics are:

 Fingerprint
 Face
 Retina
 Iris
 Vein pattern
 Hand and finger geometry
 Characteristics
Behavioral characteristics are:

 Keystroke dynamics

 Voice

 Signature dynamics
Biometric Authentication Process
Audit
Authentication
Comparison
Storage

 Signature Verification Process

 the angle at which the pen is held,

 the number of times the pen is lifted,
 the time it takes to write the entire signature, Biometric
 the pressure exerted by the person while signing, trait

 the variations in the speed with which different

parts of the signature are written.
 Applications 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
• Permanence
• Measurability
• User friendliness
• Accuracy
• Comfort
 Disadvantages of Biometrics

Costly.

Facial imaging can also hinder accurate identifications.

Missing body part problem.

False acceptances and rejections.

The scanning of eye is fearful.

The nervousness that people feel about the scanners
identification.
Conclusion

Not perfect yet.

Successful applications.
Decreasing costs and increasing
convenience.
Increasing both privacy and identity
security.
The field of biometrics is evolving.
Benefit from this technology .
