BIOMETRIC IDENTIFICATION SOLUTION OVERVIEW
Biometrics Identification is the method of identifying humans by their unique physical or behavioral features/traits, such as their face, fingerprints, iris, DNA, signature, voice etc. This method is generally used for security purposes due to its high level of reliability. Given the ease with which common security measures such as passwords and access tokens may be compromised, and the much lower probability of biometrics being defeated through alteration and reverse engineering, large scale adoption of biometrics may offer significant protection against the economic and social problems associated with identity theft. Organizations typically select a particular type of biometric technology based on the level of convenience and accuracy required.
Whichever feature is used it must fulfill the criteria of being unique, universal, acceptable, easily collectibles and should be convenient to use. Apart from having reliability at the point of identification, the most important thing about this key feature should be its permanence, meaning it must remain unique over the lifetime of the individual. The biometric system works by comparing input data, such as a face, fingerprint, or iris scan, against samples from previously enrolled individuals that are already stored in the system. Therefore, people whose unique biometric features have already been enrolled and stored are the only ones that can access the system.
As technology advances, manual fingerprint verification procedures are being replaced by cutting-edge fingerprint matching software systems and fingerprint readers. These help eliminate the human errors involved in storing and retrieving fingerprints, and also eliminates the need to save volumes of paperwork and to manage physical filling systems.
Also Biometrics is being used in a wide variety of industries for many different purposes. Here are a few examples:
POS: |
Control payroll accuracy and transaction overrides by requiring employees to login with a fingerprint scan. |
Schools: |
Interface with lunch line POS, library, and SIS software to create efficiencies , increase revenue, and protect student interests. |
Workforce Management: |
More accurately manage employees and save up to 4% of annual gross payroll budgets by eliminating "buddy punching" into PC-based time clock software. |
Check Cashing: |
Reduce fraud and protect assets with customer fingerprint authentication within check cashing software.
