BIOMETRICS

BIOMETRICS

 Forget passwords ...

 Forget pin numbers ...

 Forget all your security concerns ...

 BIOMETRICS
 Introduction
 General system
 Finger Print
 Iris
 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
 Transmission
 Signal Processing
 Data Storage
 Decision
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

FINGER PRINT RECOGNITION

 Global features

 Local features
 GLOBAL FEATURES
 Pattern Area

 Core Point

 Delta

 Line types

 Ridge Count

 Ridge Patterns
BASIC RIDGE PATTERNS

 Loop

 Arch

 Whorl
LOOP, ARCH AND WHORL
 STAGES
 Fingerprint Scanning

 Fingerprint Matching

 Identification
 FINGERPRINT SCANNING

 It’s the acquisition and recognition of a

person’s fingerprint characteristics for
identification purposes

 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

 IRIS RECOGNITION

 Database of millions of records

 Iris code generated is compared
 Searching algorithm based on Properties
of Iris
 Order of a few seconds

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

DEVELOPMENT
 Scent

 Ear Shape

 Finger nail bed

 Facial 3D
