Advanced Research: Cybersecurity and Facial Biometric Systems Review

This report delves into the application of facial biometric systems within the realm of cybersecurity. It begins by defining cybersecurity and its key elements, followed by an explanation of biometric systems and facial recognition technology. The report then outlines the working process of facial biometric systems, from image capture to facial geometry analysis and authentication. It also presents the advantages, such as increased security and automation, and disadvantages, including data processing concerns and potential image quality issues. The report is supported by a range of references from academic journals and publications, providing a comprehensive overview of the topic.

Cyber security through facial biometric system

What is Cyber-security?
 The technology which is designed to protect
devices, data or programs from any
unauthorized access is known as cyber-
security. This factor is also termed as IT
security.

Elements of Cyber
Security
 The components of cyber security comprises
of following mentioned below:
 Security in network
 Security in applications
 Safety of endpoints
 Data reliability
 Management of identity
 Safety in database
 Security in clouding
 Mobile safety
 Disaster rehabilitation
 Education up to end point

Pillars of Cyber Security
Pillars of cyber security is classified in three categories.

Biometric System
The technology designed to verify the identification of a living
person is known as Biometric System, like a finger print or face
pattern.

Cyber security by Facial Biometric
System
 What is Facial Biometric System?
 It is a system which is designed in a manner that it
verifies the person with the digital image by
comparing and analyzing the pattern.

Working of Facial Biometric
System
The Working of facial biometrics is divided in
following steps which are mentioned below:
Step1. A picture will be captured by camera of the
device and it will be stored as default identity.
Step2. The software of device will analyze the
geometry of the face of individual. The distance
between chin and forehead is measured and
stored as detail of geometry of face.
Step3. Once the identification is made with the
stored details the individual will get access to use
the device.

Advantage and Disadvantage of
Facial Biometrics System
Advantage Disadvantage
Increase in the security level Issue with the data process
and storage
Implementation Process is
easy
Problem with the size of the
image and quality as well
It helps to find the incorrect
recognition
Effect of the camera angle.
It is totally automatic system
The frauds related with the
time will be reduced.
