In today's world the life is very fast we want to do everything so quickly and easily without putting much physical and mental effort. With the advancement of technology, we are provided with higher level of knowledge through the invention of different devices. However, each technological innovation has its pros and cons. One of the emerging usages for biometric security system is in smartphones and computers that we are using today. Also, today we cannot think of living without smart phones and devices as they have become a vital part of our life. We depend on our phone and laptops for so many things during our daily activities like paying bills, connecting with friends, office work and making money transactions. But using the traditional security features we cannot get appropriate security as anyone who knows the password to unlock someone else’s phone can get access to the phone. Using biometrics traits like fingerprint, voice, face, and iris makes it more difficult to get access to the device. In this paper, I will focus on how biometrics help …show more content…
To use one, you simply place your hand on a flat surface, aligning your fingers against several pegs to ensure an accurate reading. Then, a camera takes one or more pictures of your hand and the shadow it casts. It uses this information to determine the length, width, thickness and curvature of your hand or fingers. It translates that information into a numerical template. Hand and finger geometry systems have a few strengths and weaknesses. Since hands and fingers are less distinctive than fingerprints or irises, some people are less likely to feel that the system invades their privacy. However, many people's hands change over time due to injury, changes in weight or arthritis. Some systems update the data to reflect minor changes from day to day. For higher-security applications, biometric systems use more unique characteristics, like
Fingerprint is standard procedure when getting arrested or getting any sort of government jobs
Fingerprint analysis is a method of identifying individuals based on the unique patterns of ridges and valleys on their fingertips. In Dahmer's case, investigators were able to use fingerprints to identify the remains of his victims and link them to specific crime scenes. Fingerprint analysis has been used in forensic investigations for over a century and is considered to be a highly reliable method of identification. It is based on the fact that no two individuals have the same fingerprint patterns and that these patterns remain consistent throughout a person's life. In Dahmer's case, fingerprint analysis was used to identify the remains of several of his victims, including Anthony Sears and Ernest Miller.
He uses actual line to define shapes such as the side of the mountain. He indicates depth by causing the area that is
However, despite these vast improvements, technology has also come with a lot of risks especially regarding personal information. Apple’s new finger scan feature may violate one’s right to use the fifth amendment which protects one from giving information that may self- incriminate one of a crime. The issue with Apple’s new software is that it
The job of the police officers is to protect all citizens from any threat and help us to be safe on the streets. Stop and frisk is a practice that the New York City Police Department uses as a way to fight crime, however, stop and frisk is unjust and has resulted in racial discrimination by officers, as well as an abuse of power. Over the years many civilians have been stopped and frisked by the police, this irritates some people as they feel they are stopped purposely or for no reason. So can police frisking in some cases go too far?
In 2013 more than 50.000 children and young people were on a child protection registers or subjects to a child protection plain in the uk ( nspcc 2014) The HM government document working together to safeguard children 2010. A wide range of legislation, statutory guidance, policies and procedures support the safely and welfare of children and young people. This includes policies relating to health and wellbeing, safety and security, personal care and individual rights.

Domestic Surveillance? “Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.” This nugget of wisdom was expressed by Edward Snowden, a former National Security Agency (NSA) contractor who is now exiled in Moscow. Two years ago, he dropped a bombshell on the American public and global citizens everywhere.
Another bioethical thing I noticed was when they were doing the finger prints
2.4 Band Division and Energy Computation: The power spectrum of the signal is multiplied by magnitude response of set of 33 triangular band pass filters and in the range 300Hz-2000Hz. Sub-bands are formed by using the logarithmic spacing. The positions of these filters are equally spaced along the Mel frequency, which is related to the common linear frequency f by following formula: Mel (f) = 1125* ln (1+f/700) (3) Mel frequency is proportional to the logarithm of linear frequency and which is close to the human perceptual system. 2.5 Sub Fingerprint Generation:
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).
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.
