TECHNICAL SEMINAR PRESENTATION BIOMETRICS:THE MAGIC OF IDENTIFICATION

BIOMETRICS OUTLINE  INTRODUCTION  BIOMETRICS :A GENERAL OVERVIEW  LEADING BIOMETRIC TECHNOLOGIES  BIOMETRIC APPLICATION  BIOMETRIC RESEARCH  CONCLUSION

Biometrics WHAT IS BIOMETRICS?  Biometrics is a set of Automated methods to recognize a person based on Physiological and behavioral characteristics.  Depending on application context Biometric system can be either verification or identification.

Biometrics HOW CAN WE USE BIOMETRICS Identification: One to Many match. (1->N). Provides a “username + password “equivalent. Verification:One to One match.(1->1). Provides a “password” equivalent. Verifies whether the user is whom he claims to be.

Biometrics HOW BIOMETRIC MATCHING WORKS  Enrollment and Template Creation  Templates  Biometric Matching

Biometrics BENEFITS OVER TRADITIONAL METHODS  Reduced Cost  Reduced Size  Increased Accuracy  Increased Ease Of Use  Increased security  Increased Accountability.

Biometrics LEADING BIOMETRIC TECHNOLOGIES  Finger Scan  Facial Scan  Iris Scan  Voice Scan  Signature Verification  Voice Verification  Hand Geometry

FINGER SCAN TECHNOLOGY Biometrics There are five stages involved in finger scan verification and identification.  Image Acquisition  Image Processing  Location of Distinctive Characteristics  Template creation  Template Matching

Biometrics FINGER SCAN- STRENGTHS  Mature, Proven core technology, capable of high levels of accuracy.  It employs ergonomic, easy to use devices.  It can be deployed in a range of environments.  Ability to enroll multiple fingers can increase system accuracy and flexibility.

Biometrics IRIS SCAN TECHNOLOGY There are five stages involved in iris scan identification and verification.  Image Acquisition  Image Processing  Distinctive features  Template Generation  Template Matching

Biometrics IRIS SCAN STRENGTHS Iris Scan technology has been successfully implemented in ATMs and KIOSKS for banking and travel applications.  It has potential for exceptionally high levels of accuracy.  It is capable of reliable identification and verification.  It maintains a stability of characteristics over a life time.

Biometrics BIOMETRIC APPLICATIONS Traditionally biometric applications are divided into three main categories.  Applications providing “logical access” to data or information  Applications providing “physical access” to tangible material or controlled areas.  Applications which verify or identify an individual from a database or token.

Biometrics AREAS OF DEPLOYMENT  Criminal Identification  Retail/ATM/point of sale  E-Commerce /Telephony  PC/network access  Physical access / Time and attendance  Citizen Identification  Surveillance

Biometrics BIOMETRIC RESEARCH  Designing privacy enhancing biometrics  Hybrid Technology : combining biometrics with smart cards and public key infrastructure (PKI).  Need for multidisciplinary convergence of traditional disciplines.

Biometrics  There is great demand for the fast, tremendously accurate authentication biometric systems.  Continued improvements in technology, increased performance at a lower cost, fueling the continued growth in operational systems is always necessary.  The growth will place greater demand on both biometric system developers and they need to work together for better future of biometrics CONCLUSION
