Biometrics

1 Biometrics (or biometric authentication)[note 1] refers to the

identification of humans by their characteristics or traits. Biometrics is used in computer science as a form

of identification and access control. It is also used to identify individuals in groups that are under surveillance.


Biometrics - Biometric functionality

1 (1999) identified seven such factors to be used when assessing the suitability of any trait for use in

biometric authentication


Biometrics - Proposal calls for biometric authentication to access certain public networks

1 John Michael (Mike) McConnell, a former vice admiral in the United States Navy, a

former Director of US National Intelligence, and Senior Vice President of

Booz Allen Hamilton promoted the development of a future capability to require biometric authentication to

access certain public networks in his Keynote Speech at the 2009 Biometric

Consortium Conference.


Biometrics - Notes

1 Jump up ^ As Jain & Ross (2008, footnote 4 on page 1) point out, "the

term biometric authentication is perhaps more appropriate than

biometrics since the latter has been historically used in the field of

statistics to refer to the analysis of biological (particularly medical) data " (wikilink added to original quote).


Security management - Access control

1 Locks, simple or sophisticated, such as biometric authentication and keycard locks


Disk encryption - The boot key problem

1 * Using a biometric authentication

method such as a fingerprint


IPhone 5S - Critical reception

1 Walt Mossberg of All Things Digital gave the phone a favorable review, saying that Touch ID sounds like a

gimmick, but it’s a real advance, the biggest step ever in biometric

authentication for everyday devices, and labeled it the best smartphone

on the market


RSA (security firm) - History

1 *In May 2001, it acquired 3-G International, Inc., a privately held

company that developed and delivered smart card and biometric

authentication products.


Intelligence analysis management - Security and IT

1 A laptop can be secured, but the security both has to be built-in, and

maintained. Files need strong encryption. Multiple layers of security

risk detection tools are needed. Biometric authentication will identify

only legitimate users.

Gun safety - Rules and mindset

1 A new technology called Identilock attaches to the trigger of a handgun, which can then only be unlocked by biometric authentication, preventing any unauthorized user from firing the

weapon


Multi-factor authentication - Biometrics

1 In short, selection and successful deployment of a biometric

authentication system needs careful consideration of many factors.
