Biometrics secure or not!

Biometrics secure or not!

Observe

                statistical study of biological data:

the application of statistical techniques to biological data

The word biometrics comes from the Greek bios (life) and metrikos (measure).

•          It is pure mathematical pattern

•          To measures distance between our Bio ID patterns by statistics.

Security levels

•          Level 1 relies on something a person carries, such as an ID badge with a photograph or a computer cardkey.

•          Level 2 relies on something a person knows, such as a password or a code number.

•          Level 3, the highest level, relies on something that is a part of a person’s biological makeup or behavior, such as a fingerprint, a facial image.

Verification system which is based on “PREVIOUSLY STORED DATA”.

Techniques for usages

•          Facial Recognition

•          Fingerprint identification

•          Hand geometry

•          Retinal pattern recognition

•          Iris based identification

•          Signature recognition

•          Voice recognition

Thank god:

•          We ensure that the biometric trait would remain unchanged even ‘as the person aged’.

 

Needs of thief:

•          1st Thieves aim to gain access to your biometric data and claim the same as their own.

•          2nd We are collecting uniquely identifiable information that cannot change,

because that information we cannot change means there is no alternate recourse for an individual to prove who they are.

•          3rd Usage of mould and material such as clay, gelatin or dental plaster to make fake fingers,

or simply chop off a finger from a user to save the time

•          E.g. Terminator movie

Research:

•          of Clarkson Biomedical signals Analysis Laboratory,

•          60 faked finger samples can possible to make of one finger.

•          in addition hi tech fingerprint scanners also did false verification 90 % of them.

•          Wonder to use!

Information:

•          Many developed countries like US, UK, Germany, Morocco, and Bahrain developed readable biometrics identity of all country’s people.

•          India is also stands in this line of progress it make biometrics Civil ID.

Future conclusion:

•          Hyperion, Biometric manufacture Comp.’s CEO David Brich said:

•          “Biometric might work well for an environment under security control like ATM but would be less useful in a PC, unless secure hardware was added in future.”
