Methods of Authentication Biometric Devices

Authentication

Is the process where users verifies that they are who they say they are. The user who attempts to perform functions in a system is in fact the user who is authorised to do so.

Methods of Authentications

There are two commonly used authentication methods. They are biometric devices and callback system

Biometric It is a device that translates personal characteristic into a digital code Devices that is compared with a digital code stored in the database

Examples of biometric device is fingerprint recognition , facial recognition, hand geometry, iris scanning, retinal scanning, voice recognition and signature verification system.

Fingerprint Recognition

It also measure blood flow, or check for correctly arrayed ridges at the edges of the fingers

Facial Recognition

Analyses the characteristics of an individuals face images captured through a digital video camera.

Hand Geometry Scanning

Involves the measurement and analysis of the shape of ones hand.

Iris Scanning

Analyses the features that exists in the coloured tissues surrounding the pupil which has more than 200 points that can be used for comparison including rings and freckles. The scans use a regular video camera and can be done from further away than a retinal scan.

Retinal Scanning
Involves the scanning of retina and analysing the layer of blood vessels at the back of the eye Involves using the low intensity of light source and optical coupler and can read the patterns at a great level of accuracy. Requires the user to remove glasses and place their eye close to the device.

Voice Recognition
Compares a persons live speech with their stored voice patterns. Requires user to speak into a microphone. Verification time is approximately 5 seconds. To

Signature Verification System

Recognises the shape of your hand written signature as well as measuring the pressure exerted and the motion used to write the signature. Uses special pen and a special tablet. After pre-processing the signature, several features extracted. The authenticity of a writer is determined by comparing an input signature to a stored reference set consisting of three signatures. The accuracy is fair and the cost involved is excellent.

CALLBACK SYSTEM

Callback system is a checking system that authentics the users. The callback system commonly used in the bank operation and business transaction. Example:, when you called a mcDonald delivery system,the operator will ask you to hang upsince he wants to link you with the other woker.

Conclusion

Authentication is very important to prevent unauthorised access of a persons data.
