Use Of Biometrics In Secure E-transaction

Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Polytechnic,Amt.

Biometrics = bios + metron. Bios means life and metron means measure.

In the terms of computer security, biometrics refers to authentication techniques that rely on measurable physiological and individual characteristics that can be automatically verified .

A Biometrics System is a system for the automated recognition of individuals based on their behaviour and biological characteristics. Also called BEHAVIOMETRICS.

Biometric-based solutions are able to provide for confidential financial transactions and personal data privacy

INTRODUCTION

There two types of biometrics1. Physiological biometrics 2. Behavioral biometrics

Depending on the context, in a biometrics system, there are two different ways to resolve a person’s identityI. Verification II. Identification

VERIFICATIONComparing a sample against a single stored template is called verification.

IDENTIFICATIONSearch a sample against a database of templates.

1) Physiological biometrics : Physiological are related to the shape of the body. EXAMPLES :- Handprint Fingerprint Retina Face

2) Behavioral biometrics: Behavioral are related to the behavior of a person. EXAMPLES :- Voice/Speech Handwriting/Signature Movement Patterns(i.e. typing, walking, etc.)

TYPES OF BIOMETRICS 1) Physiological Biometrics 2) Behavioral Biometrics

HOW BIOMETRICS WORKS ?

Handprint

Everybody has unique handprints. A handprint Biometric Systems scans hand and finger sand the data is compared with the specimen stored for you in the system. The user is allowed or denied based on the result of this verification. Fingerprint

Fingerprints are used in forensic and identification for long time. Fingerprint Biometric Systems examine the unique characteristics of your fingerprints and use that information to determine whether or not you should be allowed access.

Retina

Retina Pattern Biometric system uses an infrared beam to scan your retina. Retina pattern biometric systems examine the unique characteristics of user’s retina and compare that information with stored pattern to determine whether user should be allowed access. Face

A facial recognisation system is a computer application for automatically identifying or verifying a person from a digital image or a video frame from a video source.

Voice/Speech

Voice Patterns Biometric Systems can also be used for user authentication. Voice Patterns Biometric Systems examine the unique characteristics of user’s voice.

Handwriting/Signature

Signature recognition is a behavioral biometric. The dynamics is measured as a means of the pressure, direction, acceleration and the length of the strokes, dynamics number of strokes and their duration.

Keystroke

Keystroke Biometric Systems examine the unique characteristics of user’s keystrokes and use that information to determine whether the user should be allowed access.  

ADVANTAGES • Criminal identification • Prison security • ATM and other Financial Transactions • PC/LAN Login • Database access • Border crossing controls Biometrics DISADVANTAGES

• Costly• Facial imaging can also hinder accurate identifications.• Missing body part problem.• False acceptances and rejections.• The amount of comfort.

APPLICATION OF BIOMETRICS

FUTURE SCOPE

Time Clocks or Biometric time and attendance systems, which are being increasingly used in various organizations to control employee timekeeping.Biometric safes and biometric locks, provides security to the homeowners.Biometric access control systems, providing strong security at entrances.Biometric systems are also developed for securing access to pc's and providing single logon facilities.Biometrics airport security devices are also deployed at some of the world's famous airports to enhance the security standards.

Biometrics is a very interesting and exciting field that has be growing exponentially in recent years (especially 2001).While Biometric authentication can offer a high degree of security, they are far from perfect solution.The influences of biometric technology on society and the risks to privacy and threat to identify will require meditation through legislation.The wide variety of physically unique traits our bodies give us will soon allow us to live in a very secure password-less world.
