ETHE NEED TO IDENTIFY

Every day we are required to identify ourselves Using a bank card with a PIN at a cash machine A password to log on to a computer Using a key to open a door Punching a code into a keypad to enter the

workplace Using passwords on the Internet Providing a passport and driving licence as proof

of identity We need to be able to accurately IDENTIFY

an individual to minimize current issues and threats

EIS BIOMETRICS THE ANSWER?

A biometric is part of the person and is not easily compromised through:TheftCollusionLoss

Simplifies user management resulting in cost savings

Users do not need to remember passwords Users do not need to remember PINs User accounts cannot be shared Easy to use

EBIOMETRIC DEFINITION

The automated recognition of individuals based on their behavioural and biological characteristics The general meaning of biometrics encompasses

counting, measuring and statistical analysis of any kind of data in the biological sciences including the relevant medical sciences

The term is derived from the Greek words “bios” meaning life and “metron” meaning measure

FACE

Based upon the geometric shape and position of features of the face

Resistant to changes in skin tone, facial hair, hair style, and eyeglasses

No active user involvement required in order to perform identification/verification

Limited success in practical applications

VOICE

Analyses voice patterns and characteristics of speech e.g. pitch, tone, etc.

High user acceptance – perceived as least intrusive biometric technology

Easy for end users to implement Ideal for telephone systems/mobile

environments

HAND GEOMETRY

Measures the physical characteristics of the user’s hand and fingers

Low level infrared light and camera used to capture an image

Suited to applications where there is a large user base or users access the system infrequently

Systems are easy to use and robust

SIGNATURE

Based on analysis of the dynamics of a handwritten signature e.g. shape, speed, stroke order, pen pressure

Generally use pressure sensitive tablets or wired pens

User friendly Non intrusive – minimal public acceptance

issues Captured signature can be used for digitally

signing documents

KEYSTROKE DYNAMICS

Monitors rate of typing and intervals between letters

Verification based on typing rhythm – intruders may guess password but fail to key in with correct rhythm

Neither enrolment nor verification disturbs the regular flow of work

Low cost – only hardware required is keyboard

FINGERPRINT

Variety of fingerprint devices available (silicon and optical)

Template constructed by analysing patterns that make the fingerprint (minutiae)

DNA

Forensic genetics use deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) profiling in a number of important human identity applications

0.01% of a person's entire genome is unique to each individual This represents 3 million base pairs of DNA 95% of the human genome are non-coding

sequences (called junk DNA) Standard profiling systems only exploit the junk DNA

to maintain the privacy and civil rights of the donor

MULTIMODAL

Combination of one or more biometrics Algorithmic level Results level

Multimodal is the fusion of results with logic applied

VERIFICATION VERSUS IDENTIFICATION

“Are you who you say you are”?

“Who are you”?

NOT

VERIFICATION AND IDENTIFICATION

Verification Involves confirming or

denying a person’s claimed identity – Are you who you claim to be?

Biometric sample captured and compared with the previously stored template for that user

One-to-one comparison Are you who you say

you are? “I am who I say I am”

• Identification Means establishing a

person’s identity from an already established list – Who are you from this list?

Biometric sample presented to a system which searches the existing (enrolled) subjects

One-to-many comparison

Do I know you?

“I am not known to you already”

IDENTIFICATION BEFORE VERIFICATION

To establish a ‘clean’ database of individuals each individual first needs to be identified One-to-many match is performed against the

central database to ensure the individual does not already exist under correct name or any other aliases

Once identity is established it can be sufficient to verify the individual as proof of identity only One-to-one match is performed at the point of

interface without the need to check back to the central database

ECONSIDERATIONS OF ADDING A BIOMETRIC SYSTEM

Not all biometrics technologies suit all people In many cases additional hardware is

required User co-operation is usually necessary Privacy concerns must be addressed Cost of personal devices in large systems can

be significant User education is required Biometric revocation must be considered as

biometric data is not secret

CAPTURE THE LEGAL AND POLITICAL IMPERATIVES

Ask what additional considerations are there with a biometric application as opposed to any other IT deliverable Privacy? Data access considerations (who and why)? Sensitivity of data? Legislative limitations? User acceptance? Standards compliance?

THE BENEFITS OF STANDARDS FOR BIOMETRICS

They foster wide spread utilization of the technology

They are a sign of industry maturity They reduce time-to-market They facilitate interchange and/or

interoperability They reduce risk to integrators and end users They reduce vendor “lock-in” effect
