Access System
The Body and Biometrics
|
|
Simply speaking, modern biometrics is the fusion of the human body with its
digitised equivalent. The features of the body can be measured, digitised and
stored. New biometric technologies make it possible to create access controls
that function without keys, identification documents or passwords.
Some of the features of the human body, such as fingerprints, the eye, and the
voice, are unique to the individual. Biometrics, the digital measuring and
screening of the body, allows the identification of individuals on the basis
ofthese unique features. As a first step, a profile is created which contains a
digitised sample of an iris scan, a fingerprint, etc. Then, the new biometric
sample gathered at the point of identification is compared to the existing one.
Access to high security areas or the use of cash dispensers can easily be
controlled through biometric technologies, without any magnetic strips or codes
being required. Users provide a sample of their iris, voice or fingerprint which
is compared to the existing one, and, in the case of a match, is granted access
to the facility or the money. However, biometric access controls create data
profiles which provide detailed information about an individual's habits and
movements.
