SECURITY MEASURESAUTHENTICATION & BIOMETRICS

SECURITY MEASURESecurity measures mean the precautionary measures taken toward possible danger or damage. There are 6 types of security measures :-1) DATA BACKUP

-Data Backup is a program of file duplication. Backups of data applications are necessary so that they can be recovered in case of an emergency.

2) CRYPTOGRAPHY-Cryptography is a process of hiding information by alteringthe actual information into different representation.

3) ANTIVIRUS-An antivirus program protects a computer against viruses by identifying and removing any computer viruses found in the computer memory.

4) ANTI-SPYWARE

-Spyware is a program placed on a computer without the user’s knowledge. It secretly collects information about the user.

5) FIREWALL

-Firewall is a piece of hardware or software which functions in a networked environment to prevent some communications forbidden by the security policy.

6) HUMAN ASPECTS OF SECURITY MEASURES

- Human aspects refer to the user and also the intruder of a computer system. It is one of the hardest aspects to give protection to.

AUTHENTICATION-Authentication is a process where users verify that they are who they say they are.

TWO TYPE AUTHENTICATION :-

1) CALLBACK SYSTEM2) BIOMETRICS DEVICES

CALLBACK SYSTEM-A callback system connects a user to a computer only after the computer calls the user back at a previously established telephone number.

To started the callback system :-

1)The user calls the computer and then enter the correct username and password.

2)The computer instructs the user to hang up and then calls the user back.

BIOMETRICS DEVICES-Biometrics is the science and technology of measuring and analyzing biological data.

BIOMETRICS DEVICES :-

-FINGERPRINTS RECOGNITIONThey are also readily accessible and require little physical space either for the reading hardware or the stored data.

-FACE RECOGNITIONUses distinctive facial features, including upper outlines of eye sockets, areas around cheekbones, the sides of the mouth and the location of the nose and eyes.

- VOICE RECOGNITION

The idea is to verify the individual speaker against a stored voice pattern, not tounderstand what is being said.

- SIGNATURE DYNAMIC

Based on an individual's signature, but considered unforgettable because what is recorded isn't the final image but how it is produced .

CONCLUSION- Security Measures is very important to protect our computer data .

-Biometric technology is now being used in almost every area. Not only that, but various types of biometric systems are being used to achieve various functionalities.
