Biometric System
The term “biometrics” is derived from
the Greek words “bio” (life) and
“metrics” (to measure).
Automated method
Pattern recognition system
Specific physiological or behavioral
characteristics
Traditional System
Whereas traditional means
of access control include
token based identification
systems, such as a driver's
license or passport, and knowledge based
identification systems, such as a passwords
personal identification
Traditional System
HOW Biometric System WORKS
The hardware captures the salient
human characteristic
The software interprets the resulting
data and determines acceptability.
CHARACTERISTICS USED
Fingerprints
Facial features
Writing patterns
Iris patterns
Hand geometry
DNA
Finger Print
Stages
Fingerprint Scanning
Fingerprint Matching
Identification
Advantages
Very high accuracy.
Is the most economical biometric PC
user authentication technique.
It is one of the most developed
biometrics technique.
Easy to use.
Disadvantages
It can make mistakes with the dryness or dirty
of the finger’s skin, as well as with the age (is
not appropriate with children, because the
size of their fingerprint changes quickly).
Image captured at 500 dots per inch (dpi).
Resolution: 8 bits per pixel. A 500 dpi
fingerprint image at 8 bits per pixel
demands a large memory space, 240
Kbytes approximately .
Door Lock
Iris recognition
IRIS RECOGNITION
Pattern recognition technique
Identification by mathematical
analysis of the random pattern
Based upon the qualities of the Iris
Iris Properties
High degree of Randomness
No two Iris are alike
Stable in a persons life
Doesn't vary with changes
Iris is a protected internal organ whose
random texture is stable throughout life
Advantages
Very high accuracy.
Verification time is generally less than 5
seconds
Disadvantages
Very expensive
A lot of memory for the data to be stored.
IRIS DEVICES
Facial recognition
A facial recognition system is a computer
application for automatically identifying or
verifying a person from a digital image or a video
frame from a video source
Advantages
Non intrusive
Cheap technology.
Disadvantages
2D recognition is affected by changes in
lighting ,the person’s hair, the age, and
if the person wear glasses.
DNA
DNA
DNA profiling (also called DNA testing,
DNA typing, or genetic fingerprinting) is a
technique employed by forensic scientists to
assist in the identification of individuals by
their respective DNA profiles.
Advantages
Very high accuracy.
It impossible that the system made
mistakes.
Disadvantages
Very expensive.
Signature Recognition
Signature Recognition
Signature recognition is a behavioral biometric.
It can be operated in two different ways
1. Static
2. Dynamic
Advantages
Non intrusive.
Little time of verification (about five seconds).
Cheap technology.
Disadvantage
Signature verification is designed to verify
subjects based on the traits of their unique
signature. As a result, individuals who do not
sign their names in a consistent manner may have
difficulty enrolling and verifying in signature
verification.
Error rate: 1 in 50.
Hand Geometry
Overall hand and finger width
Distance between joints
Bone structure
Advantages
Though it requires special hardware to use, it can
be easily integrated into other devices or systems.
It has no public attitude problems as it is
associated most commonly with authorized access .
Disadvantages
Very expensive
It is not valid for arthritic person, since they
cannot put the hand on the scanner properly.
Biometric Applications
Voting system
Internet transaction
Banking system
Time and attendance reporting
ATM transaction verification
security alarm control
Verification of signatures
identity checks
Process control security
Cellular telephone security
Biometric Voting/ Electronic Voting
Traditional Voting System
Traditional voting system has four phase
Authentication

Result
Internet transactions
• The most obvious use of biometrics
for network security is for secure
workstation logons for a workstation
connected to a network.
• The main use of Biometric network
security will be to replace the current
password system.
• Additional security over the current
multi-factor authentication system
used in Internet banking to perform
transactions from a PC or a tablet.
Biometric in the financial transactions
on social networking site:
• ID and password
authentication on Facebook.
Can be easily captured using
the webcam and microphone
available in computers
• Major advantage of using
biometrics . Users can easily
replacing their traditional
Facebook user ID and
password login combination
with a fully biometric one.
• WAP enabled mobile phone provides the
Security measures on internet by the biometrics data use
facilities to consumers to shop online.
• Credit cards continue to be an efficient tool
for online money transactions.
• Make configurations to that effect in her/his
account. system through their voiceprint
Biometric in Banking
Traditional System
Handwritten signature lost their place.
Greater need for a highly secure identification
and personal verification.
Biometric system provide security for banks
consumer against theft, hacking and
eavesdropping etc..
Benefits of Biometric Security
measure
Provide authentication of large number of
individuals by measure their particular
characteristics.
Concept of security verification has undergoes a
dynamic shift.
The efficiency of any scientific technology in
many folds better then the performance of manual
effort for a particular vocation.

Conclusion
Biometric systems have ensured to automate the task
of recognition through different hand geometry, voice
prints and iris pattern techniques. The error rate is
extremely low in such authentication schemes. In
order to constantly defeat any attempt of hacking the
personal and confidential information of the
commercial organizations, biometrics technology has
to constantly upgrade and improve its standards and
protocols. Hope so after some coming years Pakistan
also have the improved or advance technology of
biometric in every field, INSHALLAH
