| | Biometrics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The algorithm creates a digital representation of the obtained biometric. | | | In information technology, biometric authentication refers to technologies that measure and analyze human physical and behavioral characteristics for authentication purposes. | | | One of the most common measures of real-world biometric systems is the rate at which both accept and reject errors are equal: the equal error rate (EER), also known as the cross-over error rate (CER). |

| | EFF: Biometrics |
| | Biometric systems fail in two ways: false match (incorrectly matching a subject with someone else's reference sample) and false non-match (failing to match a subject with her own reference sample). | | | Biometric systems' accuracy is impossible to assess before deployment Accuracy and error rates published by biometric technology vendors are not trustworthy, as biometric error rates are intrinsically manipulable. | | | An understanding of both biometrics in general and specific biometric technologies is a necessary condition for a solid understanding of the larger social implications of biometrics. |

| | BIOMETRICS PAPER |
| | Some vendors of biometric technology are proposing that a solution is to have unique hardware and software algorithms for different organizations and government agencies so that the police cannot generate the same template. | | | Biometric technology companies typically treat these algorithms as proprietary, well-guarded secrets. | | | This measurement is then processed using the same algorithm that was used at enrollment. |

| | Biometrics is the science and technology of measuring and analyzing biological data. | | | Here's how biometric verification works on the back end: To convert the biometric input, a software application is used to identify specific points of data as match points. | | | The match points in the database are processed using an algorithm that translates that information into a numeric value. |

| | Biometrics Slouches Toward the Mainstream - CSO Magazine - September 2002 |
| | Instead of using biometrics to let people log in to their computer systems, start by using them to control physical access to buildings and high-security areas. | | | For this reason, readers need to have some sort of built-in security to make sure that they are actually performing a live scan; encryption should be used to protect data as it travels from the reader to the database; and the verification software should reject attempts that are too close a fit. | | | On the surface, biometrics seem like the perfect tools for authenticating computer users. |

| | Obviously, other biometric identification or verification do not suffer from (all of) the above weaknesses, but should also be very carefully considered on their purpose, use, and added value before implementing. | | | To assess the risk and security of the system itself, Ton started the evaluation of biometrical fingerprint recognition systems over 10 years ago. | | | But before deploying any security tool or system, one should carefully examine the sensibility and added value of it, as we do in our daily work. |

| | Separability is intuitively the ability of a biometric system to differentiate authorized and unauthorized users on the basis of a biometric feature. | | | Biometric features, which are minimally affected by such variation are preferred. | | | In order to perform recognition tasks at the level of the human brain (assuming that the brain would only use one single biometric trait), 100 million computations per second are required. |
