An Outline To The Topic Introduction to Biometrics It’s History Basic Categories Current and Future Trends Block Diagram and It’s Working Errors Occurring Applications Advantages And Disadvantages Conclusion

Introduction To Biometrics The Term Bio-metrics is derived from the Greek Word bio (life) and metric (to measure) Techniques applied for verifying and confirming user’s identity 1) something you know, passwords or PIN’s 2) something you have, smart card or ATM card 3) something you are , BIOMETRICS The system can either be verification or identification Identification of a person based on the physiological or behavioral characteristics

It’s History Historically the term is related to biological sciences Technology, moved from a single method(fingerprinting) to infinite number of methods Finger printing is one of the most primitive case and is still being used today Biometric history in recent past (three decades) has seen drastic advancements

Basic Categories Of Biometrics Physiological Facial features Features of the eye Retina Iris Finger prints Hand geometry Palm geometry DNA Odor/scent Behavioral Typing rhythm Gait Handwritten signature Keystrokes/Typing patterns Voiceprint

Types Of Biometrics In Use Hand/ Finger Geometry: Record of length, width, height of hand/ fingers. Fingerprint recognition: Analyzing fingertip patterns

Surveillance: Monitoring the behavior, activities, or other changing information. Face recognition: Analyzing the characteristics of individuals face by taking digital image. Techniques used: Facial geometry Skin pattern Facial thermo gram Smile

Voice or speaker Verification: Analyzing vocal behavior Iris recognition: Analyzing features of colored ring of the eye by using techniques based on high resolution images of the individuals iris.

Current And Future Trends Smart cards: Signature recognition: Retina recognition: Skin texture analysis:

Vein vascular pattern Keystroke dynamics: Gait :

Ear recognition: Nail recognition: Body odour recognition: your body as password Lips identification: DNA matching:

Block Diagram & Working 2 types of Authentication systems: 1) Verification 2) Identification Working : Data Collection Signal Processing Template Creation Transmission Matching

Errors Occurring Failure to Capture Error(FCE) Failure to Enroll Error(FEE) False Match Error(FME) False Non Match Error(FNME) Ranking Error(RE)

Applications Forensic Government Commercial Healthcare Travel and immigration Medical Security

Advantages Increases security Reduces cost within organizations Convenience to employees Replace hard to remember passwords Can be re-issued Person himself is the key

Drawbacks Working of each device on a particular characteristics Accuracy of Performance Failure to enroll rate May violate privacy Security requires training Fingerprints changes with time Health problems Voice changes with age

Conclusion Biometrics is uniquely bound to individuals and may offer organizations a stronger method of authentication Biometrics is a very interesting and exciting field that has be growing exponentially in recent years The wide variety of physically unique traits which our bodies give us will soon allow us to live in a very secure password-less world
