Top 10 Advantages of Biometrics Technology


There is a significant demand for secured biometric identification of an individual in today’s business world. Do you know why? In today’s article, we are going to find out the ten advantages of biometrics technology:

Convenience

Identifying the right individual is very simple when you know the person, or you have to recognize him or her from a few persons. But what will happen when you have to identify a hundred or thousand individuals from thousands or millions of persons? It was challenging and even almost impossible. But biometrics technology allows to conveniently determine the right person from millions or authenticate the right one within less than a second.

Security

Biometrics technology reduces fraud activity by identifying the right person at the right time. If anyone needs to have access using biometrics, he or she will have to be present physically. You cannot lose your biometric; there is no one with the same biometric feature as you, and with the latest liveliness detection capability, it is almost impossible to spoof biometric technology with fake fingers.

Reliability

Reliability is a psychological term which is the ability to have relied on someone or something. When it comes to biometrics technology, due to its unforgettable, non-transferrable and robust security features, it increases the reliability of human identification.

Accountability

Think about a workplace where biometrics technology keeps track of the time and attendance of each employee’s. Every employee knows that buddy punching, time theft, and ghost employee attendance is quite impossible with biometrics technology. As a result, their accountability increases.

Cost Savings

Printing the ID cards or RFID and maintaining the paper-based log books or registers incur overhead costs. On the other hand, when employees get involved in time theft, their productivity reduces. Biometrics Technology doesn’t require any ID card or RFID and log book or register for identification and increases accountability eliminating time theft. As a result, the printing expense reduces as well as improving productivity reduces the overhead cost.

Iris Recognition vs. Retina Scanning – What are the Differences?

In biometrics, iris and retinal scanning are known as “ocular-based” identification technologies, meaning they rely on unique physiological characteristics of the eye to identify an individual. Even though they both share part of the eye for identification purposes, these biometric modalities are quite different in how they work. Let’s take a closer look at both and then explain the similarities and differences in detail: Retinal Scanning:  The human retina is a thin tissue composed of neural cells that are located in the posterior portion of the eye. Because of the complex structure of the capillaries that supply the retina with blood, each person’s retina is unique. The network of blood vessels in the retina is so complex that even identical twins do not share a similar pattern. Although retinal patterns may be altered in cases of diabetes, glaucoma or retinal degenerative disorders, the retina typically remains unchanged from birth until death. (Source: Wikipedia) ...

False Rejection Rate – What Does It Mean And Why Should I Care?

False reject rate   is a statistic used to measure biometric performance when operating in the verification task and it usually calculated as the percentage of times the system produces a false reject.  A false reject occurs when an individual is not matched to their own existing biometric template.  For example: John claims to be John, but the system incorrectly denies the verification.  This can be particularly frustrating for an end user who knows that they are enrolled in the system and should be recognized and verified, but for some reason the system is incorrectly rejecting their scan.  This can cause unnecessary logjams, affect service, frustrate staff and negatively impact productivity.
