Biometric Security
Biometric security contributes to the enhancement of privacy because of its accurate data and how well it specifies each person. This is based on knowing that each one has special biometric identity which specifies him or her, and no one in the world has the same profile. Also I acknowledge these objections that dealing with biometric data and applying them into security needs is complex. We recognize its complexity by imagining the possibility of integrating the accuracy of observation and a device that does not interact as a creature. My response to the challenge is that researchers started to simplify the biometric data in a way that allows us to be able to use it in our daily life. The new generation of smartphones provides …show more content…

The presence of security creates the organization of data. Separating each individual’s information for a security need, such as future verification or saving personal data, produces arrays of individuals information. Furthermore, providing the privacy maintains the rights for each person. Security predominate and limits the problems of being robbed, forged, and borrowed or forgetting (Nicholas Oluwole Ogini 2013, 110). Taking precaution and applying different methods to maintain safety, before happening any real incidents, is a clever step to shorten the time and facilitate the process of finding the frauds and it helps on gathering evidences and forensics for crimes and identifying criminals (Wechsler 2012, 63-89). Moreover applying security regulations frustrates the people who have an interest to break the application especially hacking, phishing and pharming (Ratha 2010, …show more content…

Each individual has its own unique biometric identity. On account of that, human data will never be identical. The impossibility of changing the identity is exactly what is required to enhance security. (Deny and Sivasankari 2012, 1138-1144) The precision on identifying people is a special feature and researchers are still developing it. Even in different conditions, such as the presence of dirt or the change in temperature while matching the given information with the stored, biometric data can still works effectively. The current scanning devices for hand, finger, and foot presents clearly its efficiency and accuracy. The small storage space needed to save biometric data contribute to decrease the cost of the required memory so save the information, and it facilitates the transmission of data and using them. Furthermore, the time required to gather the biometric data is decreasing dramatically and researchers are still concentrating on improving its speed. Scanning the brain represents clearly the short time required to capture and use the biometric data as Maheshwari and Choudhary points out that “the total time needed for training of 100 images is less than 20 seconds on cre2due system. And the time required for verification is less than 1 second on the same system.”(Maheshwari and Choudhary 2016, 625-631) This quote shows the speed of gathering the biometric data today.
