What is Biometrics?

0 A

system for the automated recognition of individuals . 0 Derived from the Greek words bios meaning life and metron meaning measure 0 biometric characteristics comprise elements of both biology and behavior. 0 A biometric is part of the person and is not easily compromised through: Theft Collusion Loss

How do biometric systems work?

0 by recording and comparing biological and behavioral

characteristics Biological

Behavioural Signature Gait Voice Keystroke dynamics

Fingerprint Face (2D & 3D)

Iris
Hand geometry DNA

JNTU 6

Iris
0 Captures the pattern of flecks on the iris

0 Uses conventional cameras

0 Average 2 seconds for identification

0 No physical contact between user and reader

JNTU 6

Face
0 Based upon the geometric shape and position of features

of the face 0 Resistant to changes in skin tone, facial hair, hair style, and eyeglasses 0 No active user involvement required in order to perform identification/verification 0 Limited success in practical applications

JNTU 6

Voice
0 Analyses voice patterns and characteristics of speech e.g.

pitch, tone, etc. 0 High user acceptance perceived as least intrusive biometric technology 0 Easy for end users to implement 0 Ideal for telephone systems/mobile environments

JNTU 6

Hand geometry
0 Measures the physical characteristics of the users hand

and fingers 0 Low level infrared light and camera used to capture an image 0 Suited to applications where there is a large user base or users access the system infrequently 0 Systems are easy to use and robust

JNTU 6

Fingerprint
0 Variety of fingerprint devices available (silicon and

optical) 0 Template constructed by analysing patterns that make the fingerprint (minutiae)

JNTU 6

DNA
0 Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid (DNA)

0 0.01% of a person's entire genome is unique to each

individual 0 This represents 3 million base pairs of DNA 0 95% of the human genome are non-coding sequences (called junk DNA) 0 Standard profiling systems only exploit the junk DNA to maintain the privacy and civil rights of the donor

JNTU 6

Multimodal
0 Combination of one or

more biometrics Algorithmic level Results level 0 Multimodal is the fusion of results with logic applied

Considerations of adding a biometric system

0 Not all biometrics technologies suit all people
0 In many cases additional hardware is required 0 User co-operation is usually necessary 0 Privacy concerns must be addressed 0 Cost of personal devices in large systems can be

significant 0 User education is required 0 Biometric revocation must be considered as biometric data is not secret

Conclusion

Hence they reduce risk to integrators and end users, enabling us to accurately IDENTIFY an individual to minimize current issues and threats
