Introduction
What are biochips?
Biochips are a family of products that form a technology platform
Biochips include:
Implanted RFID devices the size of a grain of rice for identification also known as implant chips.
Microarray devices also known as protein chips.
Brain chip devices which can record neural signals.
Porous silicon which can be used to produce devices which can replace damaged tissue.
Relevance of the Work
Relevance of the work
Many forms of biometrics can produce false rejects due to normal variations
Having a cold
Aging
Weight gain or loss
The use of DNA in a simple test may be an alternate identification technique
Combine the protein chip and the implant chip with the addition of a password or PIN to create a three layer security scheme.
Something you know (PIN)
Something you are (DNA)
Something you have (Implant chip)
Methodology
Review the current biochip applications
Develop a prototype design of the biochip identification system based upon the Argonne National Laboratories protein chip reader.
Survey experts on the use of protein chips for individual identification for security purposes.
Conclusions
Biochips are one of the latest emerging technologies.
The use of biochips may pose an alternative to biometric identification.
As mentioned in the “Guide to Biometrics”, DNA identification is the ultimate biometric.
