Biometrics are coming .... or not?

Biometrics are coming .... or not? 04/26/2004 08:31 PM
After all the hoopla about increasing security, it seems that the requirement for biometric data to be included in passports of those entering the US from visa waiver countries will need to be extended for two years to allow other countries to catch up with the technology, as it seems most countries are unable to meet the deadline. Some countries have put on hold the new technology, while others seem committed to going ahead with it, despite doub ts about the readiness of the technology. Of course, if civil liberties groups get their way, the biometric passports may never see the light of day. Specific religious issues complicate the matter to some extent, also. Given that, if the technology to produce biometric passports is available, will it really be that hard for forged passports to be created? Unless a massive world-wide database containing the biometric details of every person was used for data-matching, it is hard to see how these new measures will really make much difference to anyone apart from the companies selling the technology.

Biometrics Burgeoning To Mixed Reviews

Biometrics Burgeoning To Mixed Reviews 08/12/2004 10:19 PM
Everything from fingerprint to facial patterns to iris scanners are becoming more and more prevelent in society all over the world. Once primarily used in large corporate and military settings, biometrics are showing up in such places as airport terminals, hotels and even Piggly Wiggly grocery stores in the U.S.

Reactions to replacing locker keys with fingerprint scans were mixed at the Statue of Liberty lockers. "I think it's overly complicated. It takes too much time," said Stephen Chemsak, 26, who lives in Japan. Brad Hill, whose family business has run the concessions for the island for 73 years, stated, "Biometrics seemed the most logical choice." After all, he added with a laugh, people "don't lose their finger." In applications like the biometric lockers, the print itself is not stored or sent to authorities.

Biometrics are currently being tested in four Piggly Wiggly grocery stores in South Carolina. They're "pay-by-fingerprint" system claims to offers speed, convenience and protection against credit card theft. Such systems install in fast food restaurants weren't met with much enthusiasm, but Dean Douglas, vice president at IBM Corp., which is handling the technology for Piggly Wiggly's finger-scanning system, claims that could all change now that credit card fraud and identity theft have emerged as bigger problems.

"Within the next five to 10 years," Douglas predicted, "we're going to see biometrics play an increasingly large part of consumer transactions.

Is biometrics the best solution to
replace password authentication? 02/01/2005 08:19 PM
Biometrics. It's a topic I come back to periodically and enthusiastically. Most pundits, gurus and analysts agree that passwords as a method of authenticating people are not at all secure and need to be replaced. Many feel that a biometric authentication - via fingerprint, retina scan, voiceprint, or even DNA - represents the ne plus ultra of authentication methods. Still, there are quite a few people who argue that using biometrics is like placing all your eggs in one basket - what happens when the basket breaks, what happens when the biometric system is compromised?
