While some believe that biometric authentication can go a long way toward solving corporate security challenges, others believe it might only make things worse. On the plus side, biometrics provide a positive ID for employees and customers, which saves money, improves efficiency and increases security. But the downside, some say, is that file copies can be stolen, and rogue image readers are becoming a real threat.So which side you are?

In Face recognition systems, It can be installed to require a person to explicitly step up to a camera and get their picture taken, or to automatically survey people as they pass by a camera. The later mode allows for covert scanning of many people at the same time,Face scanning is non obtrusive, can be done at a comfortable distance and does not require the user to touch anything.

Though accuracy has been steadily improving, there is still a real perception that fingerprint scanners are too fidgety for everyday use. This may not be true of most IT applications (where users are conditioned to occasionally repeat required steps), but is a real barrier of physical access control.

Yes thats true,Fingerprint biometric systems have recently become mandated for certain classes of england government ID cards, which should spur even more feature development and interoperability among vendors.

When it comes to fingerprint Readers most people instinctively understand the concept of fingerprint scanning, so there's fairly little user training required, Fingerprint sensors are quite small, don’t consume a lot of power and are becoming inexpensive to manufacture, making it possible to put fingerprint biometric systems on laptops, cell phones, PDAs and even USB thumb drives and are the oldest and best-developed sector in the biometrics industry, so there are many vendors and product choices available to the consumer

Some people view mass-scale facial recognition cameras as the ultimate “big brother” encroachment of security at the expense of privacy. While there are many good arguments on both sides of that debate, potential public distaste for such systems should be considered before implementation.

Yes vikash fingertips are more likely to be dirty than other parts of the body. Dirty fingers can foil the matching process. Dirty fingers also lead to dirty fingerprint readers, which then lead to more poor scans. Because many fingerprint systems are not 100% reliable, they are frequently configured with some sort of backup authentication mechanism
