EVALUATING BIOMETRICS IN SECURITY2
Introduction
In this paper, the selected biometrics systems are fingerprint identification and face
recognition. Wilson and Hash (2003) discussed that biometrics security is a mechanism
mainly used for authenticating as well as providing access to the system based on automatic
as well as instant verification of the physical characteristics of the individuals. In most of the
organization, biometric verification is required by which the person can identified by
evaluation of biological traits. In this paper, there is discussion of strengths as well as
weaknesses of each biometric system along with privacy issues considered in the system.
There is evaluation of each system functions to verify if the system is safe to use in the
organization.
1. Strengths and weaknesses of each system
Strengths of face recognition system:
i. By means of this biometric system, it is easier to track terrorists, thieves and criminals
with help of face scanning. The hacker cannot hack this technology as there is nothing
to change and steal.
ii. Recognition of face takes second, therefore it is rapid and well-organized verification
of individual.
iii. The facial recognition is easily integrated and there is no need to spend extra money
on integration and other facial solutions (Ammour, Bouden, & Amira-Biad, 2017).
Weaknesses of face recognition system:
i. There is vulnerability of recognition when there is slight change in angle of camera as
well as change in people’s appearances lead to errors in recognition.
