Chapter 13 Biometrics What you are http://www.hipaadvisory.com/tech/biometrics.htm
Handwritten signatures • Requires careful examination • Rarely examined closely • Electronic examination has high fault rates • Have to use signature tablet • Detects velocity etc of signature • Links • http://www.answers.com/topic/biometric-signature • http://www.findbiometrics.com/Pages/signature%20articles/signature_2.html • http://www.cybersign.com/
Biometrics • Trade-off • False acceptance rate • Fraud (type 1) • False rejection rate • Insult (type 2) • Must balance • Often times simply used as deterrent in retail • Or as supplement

Face recognition • Oldest method of all • Humans very unreliable in doing this with strangers • Yet widely used in photo IDs • Again often a simple deterrent • Electronically • Identity verification • Face in crowd

Fingerprints • Large player in biometric industry • Accepted in our culture for identification • Used widely in law enforcement for identification • Matching against database time consuming • Proper to use in “sweeps” • DNA replacing to some degree

FingerPrints • When doing “sweeps” even very small false positive rates bite you • Fingerprint impressions are “noisy” • Assumption that a method is infallible generates complacency in use • Belief that is infallible produces extreme consequences when it does
Iris Codes • Advantages • Best error rates • Limited genetic influence • Very random • Disadvantages • Intrusive to obtain • Possible impersonation attacks using pictures • Iris identification article • http://www.sans.org/rr/whitepapers/authentication/1341.php
Voice Recognition • Problems • Background noise • Digital reproduction from previously recorded • Imitation • Forensic Phonology • Matching voice to phone call
Others • Face thermo grams • Scent • Hand geometry • Gait • DNA (spit in the device )
What goes wrong • DNA high false positives, sloppy lab work • Environmental conditions • Age (in law enforcement) • Print must be “new” • Grannies finger in pickle jar • Collusions • Intentionally downgrade sample (handwritting) • Combining biometrics to get lower error rate • May increase false negatives • Anomalies in the population • Damaged fingerprints • Missing hands • Religious issues • http://www.aboutbibleprophecy.com/revelation_13_16.htm
