BIOMETRIC AUTHENTICATION

1
BIOMETRIC AUTHENTICATION

• Biometric is the technology of authenticating a
  persons identity by verifying a
  personal characteristic.
• Example of biometric are include fingerprint,
  hand geometric, facial feature, voice, signature,
  and eye patterns.

2
FINGERPRINT SCANNER

• A fingerprint scanner captures curves and
  indentations of a fingerprint
• External fingerprint scanner usually plug into a
  parallel or USB port.
• The quality of a fingerprint may very
  substantially from person to person and ever
  finger to finger.
• Extract fingerprint feature, involves thinning
  the ridges of the raw image to a minuscule size
  and than converting the characteristic to binary
  format.

A FACE RECOGNITION SYSTEM

• A face recognition system captures a live face
  image and compares it with a stored image to
  determine if the person is a legitimate user.
• Some buildings use face recognition systems to
  secure access to rooms. Law enforcement,
  surveillance systems, and airport use face
  recognition to protect the public.
• These programs are becoming more sophisticated
  and can recognize people with or without glasses,
  makeup, or jewelry, and with new hairstyle.

EYE PATTERNS

• Iris recognition is based on the most
  mathematically unique biometric - the iris of the
  eye.
• The human iris is absolutely unique, even
  between twins or an individual's right and left
  eyes.
• The iris itself is stable throughout a person's
  life (approximately from the age of one).
• The physical characteristics of the iris do not
  change with age.
• None of the other biometric solutions, including
  fingerprint, facial recognition, retina scan, and
  voice recognition provide the level of accuracy,
  speed, or cost-effectiveness found with iris
  recognition technology.

5
VOICE VERIFICATION SYSTEM

• A voice verification system compares a persons
  live speech with their stored voice pattern.
• Larger organizations sometimes use voice
  verification systems as time and attendance
  devices.
• Many companies also use this technology for
  access to sensitive files and networks.
• Some financial voice verification systems to
  secure telephone banking transactions.

CONCLUSION

• Im very happy because this assignment (Biometric
  Authentication) was finish.
• I got more knowledge from this assignment.
• This assignment is new technology about checking
  personal identity.
