Biometrics

1. Are the

   • Measurable biological & behavioral characetristics
     • That are used for
       • Identification & Authentication
         • As this system makes use of

2. Many different types

   • Such as
     • Fingerprint Scanning
       • Versatile Device
         • Used for controlled access in
           • Office, Airports, Cell Phones, ATM's
         • Used on an international scale
           • In an attempt to
             • Reduce corruption and increase control
       • Risks
         • It is an
           • Electrical Device which
             • Relies on an electricity supply
               • Which is interrupted by
                 • Load Shedding
                   • Which results in
                     • Loss of data
                       • And ultimately
                         • A possible variance between recorded & actual working hours

                 • Which relates to the
                   • Reliability of this device
                     • Which is increased due to
                       • Non-transferability of the identification elements
                         • Which prevents
                           • Improper use of the system
             • Due to possible
               • Improper use of the system
                 • Resulting in
           • Personally identifiable data
             • If incorrectly managed
               • Could be used to recreate the individual
                 • Which could lead to
                   • Possible identity theft
     • Bertillonage, Face, Voice, Iris, DNA, Palm Print, Hand Geometry & Scent
