RESEARCH PROJECT REPORT3Research Project ReportIntroduction This report is about a research project on Biometrics for Authentication: Security and Privacy Implications. Biometric verification entails any means by which an individual can uniquely be identified through evaluation of the individual’s one or more distinctive biological traits (Evans et al., 2015). Unique identifiers used in this system include fingerprints, signatures, voice waves, DNA, hand geometry and earlobe geometry (Chan, 2016). The oldest among these identifiers have been fingerprinting. In terms of security, biometrics recognition has been a majorboost as it has bettered the age-old passwords whose safety continues to be questioned. However,it is never without flaws. One major drawback of this technology has been its cost. In addition, it is much harder to carry out identification using this system as compared to simple verification since a large number of comparisons need to be performed by the system. Finally, biometric authentication can deny those willing to remain anonymous in certain situations like a crime scene witness (Van Zoonen, 2016). The research project aimed at examining the security of biometrics and its privacy implications.Overview of the technology involvedThe technology involved in the research project is biometrics. Biometrics is an automatedpersonal recognition technology that is based on physiological and behavioral traits (Prabhakar etal., 2003). This technology differs from passwords in that it relies on who you are or what you doinstead of what you know. The technology allows individuals to be identified and authenticated on the basis of a data that can be recognized and verified and that which is unique and specific toevery individual.
