3. Biometric Device
Biometrics (or biometric
authentication) refers to
the identification of humans
by their characteristics or
traits.
Computer science,
biometrics to be specific, is
used as a form of
identification and access
control. It is also used to
identify individuals in groups
that are under surveillance.
4. Biometric Identifiers
Biometric identifiers are the distinctive, measurable
characteristics used to label and describe
individuals. The two categories of biometric
identifiers include physiological and behavioral
characteristics. A biometric would identify by one's
➲voice
➲DNA
➲hand print
➲behavior.
5. Types Of Biometric Device
Fingerprint Scanner
Retinal/Iris Scanner
Facial Scanner
Hand Geometry
Voice print
DNA Fingerprint
Deep Tissue Illumination
Keystroke Pattern
6. Danger to owner of secured items
When thieves cannot get access to secure properties,
there is a chance that the thieves will stalk and assault
the property owner to gain access. If the item is secured
with a biometric device, the damage to the owner could
be irreversible, and potentially cost more than the
secured property. For example, in 2005, Malaysian car
thieves cut off the finger of a Mercedes-Benz S-Class
owner when attempting to steal the car.
7. Use of Biometric Devices
Biometric devices are used all over the world like
India,Canada, Australia etc. In Pakistan Biometric
devices are also being used in several areas of life.
➲Educational Institute
➲Hospital
➲Offices Libraries
➲Shopping Malls
➲Housing societies etc.
8. How Biometric devices Work
➲ Biometrics is a word that comes from two Greek words bios,
which means life, and metron, which means measure.
Biometrics then are a measure of some aspect of life. A
biometric device uses physical or behavioral traits and
identifies people with those traits. In reality, a biometric
devices scans the aspect of life – such as a fingerprint or
voice pattern – and extracts data from it which it stores
and then uses to compare the next time you want to access
whatever the biometric device is keeping secure.
9. Card Swapping
Several Authorities like
shopping Mall,housing
authorities and hostels are
using card scanner, these
scanner provide them
sufficient information about
the existing individual and
enables registration for the
new ones, This act reduce
the probability of theft and
robbery but this
Information has to be kept
save and secure.
10. Fingerprint Scanner
Its Very difficult to keep
and maintain hard data about
the attendance of individual
in offices, Some offices
Calculate there employees
salaries . Finger print
scanner enables us to keep
incoming and outgoing
timings of Individuals. These
devices are often attach
with software’s which
prepare evaluation reports it
self.
11. Security policy
Some people claim that
personal data will be used
because when these devices
attach with software’s
contain several information
about individual and some
time very personal
information, so there must
be security policy to keep
the data safe and secure
12. Effects on Society
These devices effect positively on society they
reduce human efforts and create a sense of
synchronization and they provide easy reports to
evaluate businesses and individuals.
