Performance & Application
Conclusion

WHAT IS BIOMETRICS?
Automated method
Pattern recognition system
Specific physiological or behavioral

characteristics

WHY USE IT?

Traditional methods involving passwords

and PIN numbers

Biometrics highest level of security

CHARACTERISTICS USED

Fingerprints
Voiceprints
Facial features
Writing patterns
Iris patterns
Hand geometry

BIOMETRIC SYSTEM

Data Collection

BIOMETRIC SYSTEM

HOW IT WORKS

The hardware captures the salient human

characteristic
The software interprets the resulting data and
determines acceptability.

FINGER PRINT
Oldest form of Biometrics
Highly Reliable
Uses distinctive features of fingers

FINGERPRINT SCANNING

Its the acquisition and recognition of a

persons fingerprint characteristics for
identification purposes

IRIS RECOGINITION

IRIS RECOGNITION
Pattern recognition technique
Identification by mathematical analysis of
the random patterns.
Based upon the qualities of the Iris

Iris is a protected internal organ whose

random texture is stable throughout life

IRIS PROPERTIES
High degree of Randomness
No two Iris are alike
Stable in a persons life
Doesn't vary with changes

IRIS SCAN

Camera at close proximity

Captures photograph

Uses Infra red light to illuminate

High resolution photograph

IRIS SCAN IMAGE

IRIS CODE
Localization of inner and outer boundaries
Pattern of 512 bytes
Complete and Compact description
More complete than features of DNA

BIOMETRIC PERFORMANCE
FAR
The FAR is the chance that someone
other than you is granted access to
your account.
Low false acceptance rate is most
important when security is the priority

BIOMETRIC PERFORMANCE
FRR
The FRR is the probability that are not
authenticated to access your account.
A low FRR is required when convenience
is the important factor

FINGERPRINT PERFORMANCE
FAR -

As low as 1 in 1,000,00

FRR around 4%

IRIS PERFORMANCE
FAR -

As low as 1 in 1,000,000

FRR around 2%

APPLICATIONS
Criminal identification

Prison security
ATM
Aviation security
Border crossing controls
Database access
