Biometrics
What is Biometrics ?
• The meaning of Biometrics comes from the Greeks. Biometry = bio(life) + metry(to measure).
• Biometrics is the science and technology of measuring and analyzing biological data.
• Biometrics refers to technologies that measure and analyze human body characteristics such as DNA, fingerprints, eye retinas and irises, voice patterns,facial patterns and hand measurments for authentication purposes.
• Biometrics are automated methods of recognizing a person based on a physiological or behavioral characteristic.

Biometrics
A biometric system can operate in two modes
Identification:• A one to many comparison of the captured biometric against a
biometric database in attempt to identify an unknown individual.
Verification:• A one to one comparison of a captured biometric with a stored
template to verify that the individual is who he claims to be. • Verification is faster and performs better.• In a verification, the user must first enter his or her identity to the
biometric system. User ID's can be forgotten and cards can be lost, making access impossible.
Biometrics
Advantages of Biometrics
• Biometrics are generally used for authentication.
• It provides higher security .e.g. Iris recognition .
• Voice Recognition works well over the telephone
• User friendly
e.g. Hand geometry recognization,
finger print recognition.
Biometrics
Disadvantages of Biometrics
• Retina recognization requires close physical contact of the scanning device, may not be generally accepted by public
• Costly• Voice recognization requires large amount of computer
storage, people's voices can change, background noises can interfere.
• Biometrics features may change over time.• Signature recognization has poor long-term reliability,
accuracy difficult to ensure.

Biometrics
Face Recognization
• A facial recognization system is a computer application for automatically identifying or verifying a person from a digital image or a video frame from a video source. One of the ways to do this is by comparing selected facial features from the image and a facial database.
• It is typically used in security systems and can be compared to other biometrics such as fingerprint or eye iris recognition systems.
• Uses an image or series of images either from a camera or photograph to recognize a person.
• Principle: analysis of the unique shape, pattern and positioning of facial features.
• Passive biometrics and does not require a persons cooperation.
• Highly complex technology and largely software based.
Face Recognization (cont…)Biometrics
Retina scan
• It analyzing the layer of blood vessels situated at the back of the eye.
• The machine takes around ten seconds to shine a “low intensity coherent light source” onto the retina to illuminate the blood vessels.
• Once the machine has a copy of the scan, it compares the picture to all the different scans on file, looks for a match, and identifies the individual.
• retina scan machines are fairly expensive.
Biometrics
Fingerprint RecognizationBiometrics
Fingerprint Recognization (cont…)
• A fingerprint in its narrow sense is an impression left by the friction ridges of a human finger.
• Biometrics reffers to that measure and analyze human body characteristics such as fingerprints recognization.
• Fingerprint recognization is possible using the fingerprint scanner.
• A fingerprint scanner has two basic jobs.
• It needs to get an image of your finger.
• It needs to determine whether the pattern of ridges and vellys in this image matches pattern of ridges and valleys in pre-scanned images.

Biometrics
Fingerprint Recognization (cont…)
• There are a number of different ways to get an image of somebody’s finger.
• The most common method todays are optical scanning and capacitance scanning.
• The heart of an optical scanner is a charge coupled device (CCD).
• The CCD scanning process strats when you place your finger on a glass plate and a CCD camera takes a picture.
• one of the largest fingerprint recognization system is integrated automated fingerprint identification system, maintained by FBI in the US since 1999.

Advatages of fingerprint Recognization
• Oldest form of Biometrics
• Highly Reliable
• Uses distinctive features of fingers
• High Security access
• Reduce cost
• Instance Report
Biometrics
Disadvatages of fingerprint Recognization
• It is not a right tool for the ones who is work in the Chemical Industries.
• If a person loses his/her fingerprint identity then that person will never be able to use or replace their fingerprint as their identity.
Biometrics
Iris Recognization
• Iris recognition is an automated method of biometric identification that uses mathematical pattern-recognition techniques on video images of the irises of an individual's eyes, whose complex random patterns are unique and can be seen from some distance.
• retina scanning, iris recognition uses camera technology with subtle infrared illumination to acquire images of the detail-rich, intricate structures of the iris.
Biometrics
Signature Recognization
• Signature recognition is a behavioural biometric.
• It can be operated in two different ways:
• Static: In this mode, users write their signature on paper, digitize it through an optical scanner or a camera, and the biometric system recognizes the signature analyzing its shape. This group is also known as “off-line”.
• Dynamic: In this mode, users write their signature in a digitizing tablet, which acquires the signature in real time. Another possibility is the acquisition by means of stylus-operated PDAs. Dynamic recognition is also known as “on-line”.
Application
• Criminal identification
• Prison security
• ATM and other Financial Transactions
• PC/LAN Login
• Database access
• Border crossing controls
Biometrics
Some Biometrics Still In Development
• Scent
• Ear Shape
• Finger nail bed
• Facial 3D
Biometrics
Conclusion
• Technology is growing rapidly, but at the same time security breaches and transactions frauds are also in the increase world over.
• All agencies including libraries who are in need of security and safety have to adopt biometrics
• Let us hope for safe and secure future.
