Biometric security uses physical attributes such as fingerprints, palm veins, eyes, face, and voice to uniquely identify individuals, often for security purposes. Main biometric security systems include fingerprint readers, palm vein scanners, eye/retinal scanners, and facial and vocal recognition software. Fingerprint reading and palm vein scanning systems are compared based on factors like cost, accuracy, and difficulty to forge. Biometric security has applications in physical security, computer login, work access control, file access, ID verification, data encryption, and potential future uses like biometric digital wallets.

1. BIOMETRIC SECURITY
MEASURES
TANNER STUEWE

2. DEFINITION OF BIOMETRIC SECURITY
• The measuring and analysis of a person’s physical attributes.
This technology can be used to define an individual's unique
identity, often for security purposes.

3. MAIN TYPES OF BIOMETRIC SECURITY
SYSTEMS
• Finger Print Readers
• Palm Vein Scanners
• Eye/Retinal Scanners
• Facial Recognition Software
• Vocal Analysis Software

5. FINGER PRINT READING VS
VEIN READING SYSTEMS
• Costs
• How accurate the system is
• How difficult it is to forge or “hack” the
system
• Other benefits

6. OTHER BIOMETRIC
SYSTEMS

7. SECURITY APPLICATIONS
• Physical Security (ex. a door or safe)
• Log in to computers
• Sign in/out of work or a restricted area at a workplace
• Allow access to certain computerized files
• ID Verification for use in areas like healthcare (ex. hospitals) and
finance (ex. ATMs)
• Data Encryption
• Suggested future use: as your wallet (Would link your scan to your
identification, drivers license, credit cards, etc.)

8. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
• What other uses do you think this technology could have?
• Is this a technology that you can see yourself using for your
own personal security?
• How is this relevant to us as IS developers?
