  1. Biometrics identification for personal devices. By Aidan Summerville

  2. Biometrics • The process inn which a person’s unique physical and other traits are detected and recorded by an electronic device or system as a means of confirming identity.(http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/biometrics) • Commonly used as personal clock in methods by employers . • In more recent times used for personal devices such as laptops and smart phones.

  3. Types of Biometrics. • 1.Iris. • 2.Finger print. • 3 .Palm print. • 4.Facial Recognition. • 5.Hand shape. • 6.Retina. • 7.Ear. • 8.Palm vein Imaging. • 9.Voice.

  4. Early Biometrics • The first biometrics used was fingerprint analysis to prove criminal activity. • In the 1970s fingerprint identification started to be used on a large scale for personal clock ins for large companies. • Later palm print and hand size started to be used for clock ins at large companies. • Nowadays it is common practice among most large companies to use biometric check ins as it ensures that it is you using the machine.

  5. Current forms of Biometrics • Iris and retina is used nowadays as it is more reliable than hand size, palm print and finger print, due to the fact that it is far less discriminatory. • People who have suffered disfigurement t or limb amputation are unable to use these machines. It is far less likely for an individual to be missing both eyes. • It is also much harder to impersonate someone else's, Iris or Retina.

  6. Biometrics for personal devices. • Biometrics for personal devices original was introduced by finger print scanners for laptops and later voice and facial recognition software for computers, laptops, smart phones and tablets. • Siri for iphone have a new voice recognition software usable instead of a password. • Finger print scanning technology is still the most commonly used today as it is by far the easiest and most reliable to use. • However usernames and personal passwords are by far and a way the most popular form of security.

  7. Pros and cons of Biometrics • Protects against fraud. • Fast access no chance of forgetting the password. • Do not have to remember large amount of passwords. • Costly to implement. • Discriminatory. • Intrusive people have fears about the uses of their information. • Some biometrics such as voice recognition are possible to fake with a recording. PROS CONS

  8. Future of biometrics for personal devices. • In the future for personal devices I see some biometrics more realistically being used than others. • As cameras for phones become better facial recognition software may be used. • I also see palm print scanners possible for Tablets. • I don't for see voice recognition to last very long as it is not very secure and is open to theft. • Other biometrics may be used but the software and hardware are simply far to expensive in comparison to the ones in use today.

  9. Dual Biometrics. • To ensure against a fail in biometric or to just ensure the safety of a device it is almost necessary to use two biometrics. • For example palm print and facial recognition. • Using dual biometrics slows down the speed of use of biometrics but also increases the cost vastly.

  10. User acceptability • Certain biometrics are just not viable due to user acceptability. • Fingerprints are not social acceptable to use this may be due to the fact that they are associated with crime and government control. • Iris and retina scanners are extremely intrusive and would have a lot of people refusing to use them.
