Biometric authentication, derived from the Greek words for life and measure, utilizes unique individual traits such as fingerprints, facial recognition, and voice patterns for identification. This technology offers benefits including enhanced security, reduced identity fraud, and eliminates the need for passwords, making identification efficient and reliable. The growth in biometric applications is projected to reach 770 million downloads annually by 2019, with an eventual market of 4.8 billion biometric devices by 2020.
Ins & Outs of Biometric Authentication
- 1. A S I M P L E A N A LY S I S F O R A N O T S O S I M P L E S U B J E C T WHAT IS BIOMETRIC AUTHENTICATION
- 2. The word “biometrics” comes from the Greek language and is derived from the words bio (life) and metric (to measure). A little history on BIOMETRICS
- 3. Biometric technology includes fingerprints, eyes, face, hand geometry, handwriting and voice recognition Fingerprint scanners are the most common type of biometric technology
- 4. IS IT W OR TH IT? Benefits of Biometrics
- 5. BENEFIT #1 EASY IDENTIFICATION You can compare biometrics amongst millions of records that can be contained in a computer database. The results can be instantaneous depending on the amount of records that you are comparing the fingerprints to. Employees won’t have to carry identification cards any longer and can simply use their own fingerprint to identify themselves.
- 6. BENEFIT #2 See Ya Identity Fraud Biometric technology lessens the risk of identity fraud. As a result, many different companies and organizations can save time and money. It is much more difficult to fraud a biometric device than to steal an employee identification card. Someone would have to go to great lengths to hack into a biometric database – let alone replicate a person’s identity.
- 7. BENEFIT #3 Top-Notch Security Biometrics as a whole are tightly connected to an individual and cannot be forgotten (like passwords), shared (because it’s highly unlikely for someone to replicate biometrics), stolen (people would really have to come up with an elaborate plan) or easily hacked.
- 8. BENEFIT #4 Bye, Bye Passwords Instead of having to remember a long list of passwords, biometric technology can unlock anything needing a password as authentication. For a business, this saves memory space, documentation and in the end, a whole lot of money.
