The use of biometric technology has spread its wings everywhere around the world. From biometric attendance system at workplaces for biometric data verification in case of registration of a legal document, the technology has emerged as one of the most useful innovations of this century.
Authentication facilitated be biometric verification is becoming one of the most common procedure in public and corporate security system, including banks. Gone are the days when human couldn't even have imagined the use of such systems in the field of banking.
The use of biometric technology is becoming increasingly common in case of banks because the ultimate consumer, today, is more aware of how this service can help them have identified access to banking

Such traits such as the structure of the iris, the fingerprints, palm vein pattern or finger vein are common to each individual and does not match with anybody else in the world.
While password systems and personal identification numbers (PIN) are not considered safe anymore and are often subjected to leakage and theft, a biometric system is regarded as a comparatively safe method of individual identification.
Therefore, it is widely considered to be more reliable than any other identification systems, including the ones commonly used today for authentication. A biometric system gives a sure shot result as to whether the person trying to access something is the same person who registered himself or herself in the first place.
The increasing number of cases of thefts and frauds at banks has increased the demand of a more secure system over the recent years. The bank officials have started to demand for a system that uses personal characteristics of an individual for authentication, rather than using some piece of information that the bank uses. Biometric technology seems to fulfil the demands of the bank officials quite
The Uniform Commercial Code, section 4-406, addresses the responsibility of the bank verses the customers in a paper society. While commerce is evolving to a technological world, there are some foreseeable reasons to evaluate this section of the UCC because of the reliability of human interaction. The relationship between the customer and the bank was very relevant to conduct business in the banking system, as swift as laws and codes change to protect cyber banking, more of the responsibility or duty is placed on the customer. As we examine these two codes, with a focus on forgery, we will analysis the facts of a case in relationship of the codes. Then explore the current paperless society and the duty of banks, business and customers to
Hi Guys, The weekend was great. Hope you all had a great weekend as well. Further to our last meeting on Saturday 16th Sept, please find the problem statement: "The bank 's annual growth rate has always been around 10% each year, but recently it has slowed down to 7%. The existing process of account opening either online or at the branch requires customers to come into the branch to sign the application and provide their proof of ID regardless of whether they are new or existing customers.
Let 's begin with a definition. What are Biometric Gun Safes? These are simply the latest, next-generation upgrade of pistol safes available today. (Of course, the locking mechanism may be used on other types of safe, but for the purpose of this article, we 'll focus more on the pistol-size
From the way we look, to our personalities; my mom and I are the same yet different. Our personalities do differ in ways, but we constantly get told how much we are alike. “Grit is not just having resilience in the face of failure, but also having deep commitments.” (qtd. in Perkins-Gough and Debroah).
Some airports, bus stations, train stations are already transitioning to accompany the usage of implants in place of passports. If an RFID device is implanted into a person’s arm, he/she could be identified by simply walking through a reader. The personnel of an airport could scan a traveler’s arm to validate his/her identity. These implants, otherwise known as “chips,” can also be used by employees themselves.

Genetic variation consist of the differences between individuals. The variation among humans has led to the concepts of race and ethnicity, which are not interchangeable. For the term race, can be consider a subspecies—the differences or variation within the same specie (Stanford 118). Humans belong to the homo-sapiens specie, but have phenotype variability, which are traits influenced by the genotype. While ethnicity is the culture one is born in, for example, language or religion (“What is the difference between race and ethnicity?”).
People in the military are fingerprinted, and it is also required for many other occupations and organizations. When it comes time to match a fingerprint with an individual, it is quite easy due to the wide library of fingerprints the FBI maintains. This library contains the fingerprints of “more than 10%” of the U.S. population. For smaller cases, law enforcement are given access to this library directly from a police station ("Forensic Science" [Gale] 18).
Fingerprinting is method based on the uniqueness of the skin pattern - that is, each person has a completely individual pattern of papillary lines. These patterns do not change throughout life and have the property of recovering from damage to the skin in its previous form. On the one hand, this method almost completely eliminates the mistake, and on the other hand it is very cheap and easy to use (in contrast the method of identification of a person by DNA). Fingerprinting allows: 1) to identify the person who left the prints, according to the general and particular features of the papillary pattern displayed on them; 2) to exclude individual from among those who have touched the object; 3) to narrow the group of individuals suspected of the particular crime (for instance, provided that the imprint shows traces of a scar, a burn, a wart or some other distinctive feature).
Company managers would prefer a secret ballot to card checking, card checking limits employers freedom of speech. During the collective bargaining process employers are at a disadvantage to inform their employees of the positive or negative impact the company may face by signing their authorization card. Secret ballots limits pressure to make certain choices. From a union perspective, card checking is preferred over secret ballot elections. Card checking eliminated the election making the collective bargaining a faster process and allows unions to speck individually with each member to persuade them to sign; it is easier to persuade someone when they are only informed of one side of the story.
The authentication of Biometrics (i.e. the real authentication) which is used for identification and controlling the access which can be applied in the computer science. It is can be used in groups to identify the individuals under the surveillance. Biometric identifiers are used to labels the characteristics which can be measurable, the distinctive, and to describe the individuals. Biometric identifiers are being often categorized as behavioral versus physiological characteristics. Physiological are related to define the characteristics and the structure of the body.
On the complement, face identification is a 1: N problem. It is used compares a query face image against all image templates in a face database. Face recognition has distinct advantages over biometrics systems using finger print/palm print and iris, because of its non-contact process. It is mainly used in security systems. Face images can be captured from a distance without touching the person and the identification does not require interacting with the person.
The past of biometrics includes the identification of people by distinctive body features, scars or a grouping of other physiological criteria, such like height, eye color and complexion. The present features are face recognition, fingerprints, handwriting, hand geometry, iris, vein, voice and retinal scan. Biometric technique is now becoming the foundation of a wide array of highly secure identification and personal verification. As the level of security breach and transaction scam increases, the need for well secure identification and personal verification technologies is becoming apparent. Recent world events had lead to an increase interest in security that will impel biometrics into majority use.
It is very important to follow the trends of the consumers and give them tastes that all groups of consumers would want to buy. The biometric seemed a little more aimed just towards drawing in new customers and not about all the customers because the loyal customers already know and appreciate the
In matters of confidentiality, Banking is risky due to the highly sensitive nature of information which is often exchanged, recorded and retained. The purpose of this article is to discuss the clash of confidentiality and disclosure in the banking sector across the globe. The Black’s Law Dictionary defines confidentiality as secrecy or the state of having the dissemination of certain information restricted. Breach of confidentiality, then, refers, to the violation of this trust that has been placed in another in a fiduciary relationship, in this case bank and their customers.
