BIOMETRICS FOR RECOGNITION
[attachment=33086]
Why Biometrics ?
ATMs
Cellular phones
Smart cards
Desktop PCs
Workstations
Computer
networks
PINs and passwords may be forgotten,
Token-based identification methods such
as passports and driver’s licenses may be
forged, stolen, or lost.
WHAT IS BIOMETRICS ?
BIO-Physical or Behavioral
METRICS-To measure characteristics
Biometrics refers to the automatic
identification of a person based on his or
her physiological or behavioral
characteristics .
Fingerprint recognition
A live acquisition of a person’s fingerprint.
Dots (very small ridges),
Space between two temporarily divergent ridges),
Spurs (a notch protruding from a ridge),
Bridges (small ridges joining two longer adjacent ridges), crossovers (two ridges that cross each other).
Keystroke Dynamics:
Keystroke dynamics is an automated method of examining an individual’s keystrokes on a keyboard.
This technology examines such dynamics
as speed and pressure, the total time taken to type particular words, and the time elapsed between hitting certain keys.
APPLICATIONS
Prevent unauthorized access to ATMs,
Cellular phones, Smart cards, Desktop
PCs, Workstations, Computer
network.
Criminal identification,prison security.
Electronic commerce,Electronic banking.
In automobiles biometrics can replace
keys with keyless entry devices.
Airport security,voter cards,civilian
applications.
Conclusion:
Biometric is an emerging area with many opportunities for growth.
Possibly in the near future, you will not have to remember PINs and passwords and keys in your bags or pockets will be things of the past.
