Overview of Biometric Systems

This document presents information on biometric systems. It discusses traditional password security and its disadvantages. It defines biometrics as measurable physical or behavioral characteristics used to identify or verify a user. It describes how biometrics can end password overload for workplace computers, corporate networks, the internet, and email. It classifies biometrics as physiological or behavioral and discusses the biometric process of enrollment, storage, and verification. It provides details on specific biometric technologies like iris recognition, fingerprint recognition, face recognition, voice recognition, hand geometry, and signature recognition. It discusses multimodal biometric systems and shows examples of biometric devices. It compares different biometric methods and their security applications. It addresses concerns about biometric templates being stolen and future

PAPER PRESENTATION ON

BIOMETRIC SYSTEMS

Prepared By: SUNIL KUMAR.E


[Link] 3rd year, CSE,
[Link] Reddy Institute Of Technology,
Guide: Mr. Atheeq Ahmed
Traditional ways of security : password security.

Disadvantage : Password is to be
remembered or may leak out.
BIOMETRIC : A measurable, physical characteristic
or personal behavioral trait used to recognize the
identity or verify the claimed identity of an enrolled
user.

PASSWORDS

IRIS RECOGNITION
Iris patterns are
extremely complex.
Patterns are individual
Patterns are formed by
six months after birth,
stable after a year. They
remain the same for life.
Imitation is almost
impossible.
Patterns are easy to
capture and encode
FINGERPRINT
RECOGNITION
•Oldest method
•Everyone is
known to have
unique, immutable
fingerprints.

•The uniqueness pattern of


ridges and furrows as well as
the minutiae points.
HOW IT WORKS
SUBMISSION FEATURE EXTRACTION

IMAGE ENHANCEMENT MATCHING


FACE
RECOGNITION
COMFORTABLE
IMAGE QUALITY IS A
VITAL FACTOR
HIGH SUSCEPTIBILITY
TO FALSE POSITIVES
& FALSE NEGATIVES
FOUR PRIMARY
TECHNOLOGIES
VOICE RECOGNITION
• The software
remembers the way you
say each word.
• Voice recognition
possible even though
everyone speaks with
varying accents and
inflection.
• Telephony : the
primary growth area
HAND
GEOMETRY
• 32,000-pixel CCD
digital camera .
• The hand-scan device
can process the 3-D
images in less than 5
seconds & the
verification usually
takes less than 1
second.
• U.S INPASS
PROGRAM
SIGNATURE
RECOGNITION
 How the signature was
made. i.e. changes in
speed, pressure and
timing that occur during
the act of signing
An expert forger may
be able to duplicate what
a signature looks like,
but it is virtually
impossible to duplicate
the timing changes in X,
Y and Z (pressure)
• A multimodal
biometric system uses
the integration of
biometric systems in
order to meet
stringent performance
requirements.

•Much more vital to


fraudulent technologies

CONCLUSION

Once the exclusive preserve


of sci-fi books and movies,
biometrics now has to be
considered as one of the many
challenges of modern day
