Biometrics: The Future of Security Peter Bruno Lucy Gong Jared Layne Supriya Sundaram
2
What is Biometrics? Biometrics is the study of identification through the use of one-of-a-kind, measurable biological characteristics, such as fingerprints, retina, hand geometry, voice, and facial structure.

Current Applications Personal Computers Airport Security Ticket Holder Verification (Disney) Building Access Time Records Coach K’s Office
4
Why Biometrics? Security: – What you know – What you have – Who you are (most secure) Efficiency User convenience
5
Biometric Conversion Process (CompSci Part) Provide biometric sample Convert into template by algorithm and store in database In the future, individual provides same biometric sample System matches and confirms identity
6
Addressing Biometric Concerns “Disabilities may prevent biometric use.” – Multiple biometric measures would be available. “Some characteristics may change.” – Biometrics uses unchangeable data. “Biometric information can be recreated.” – It’s not practical or feasible to recreate. “Forcing people to disclose biometric information violates their rights.” – This view is subjective, and only templates are stored, not the actual biometric information.
