Fingerprint Security Banks In On Biometric Uniqueness
Robberies, break-ins and burglaries are more common than you think in business premises. It could be an insider job, in some cases it is carefully planned attempts or simply someone who sees the opportunity of relaxed security in a premise and takes advantage of the situation. Surprisingly, according to FBI data in 2010, of all burglaries, 32.2% were unlawful entries without force. Looking at this fact alone, we could relate it to the slack attitudes towards security, which in turn could cost unforeseeable losses of property and lives. “This would never happen to me” can’t be applied in business organizations or even at home for that matter and it is wise to be alert and to set up security plans before anything occurs.

In
this day and age, choices are aplenty for security systems. Keys have been
around for centuries but as technology continues to
advance, the risk of having keys is multiplying, making it susceptible
to theft at any time. Recent news by Today News states
that now perpetrators can take a picture of your
keys and have them duplicated through this
website by just sending the photos and the keys will be mailed to you at
$6. Card system is another security
solution that is common due to cost and easy implementation but at the same
time it poses the threat of stolen cards and
compromised identity.

Biometrics
has become a trend in the last 10 years because
it banks in on the uniqueness of one’s identity
for verification. No one has the same fingerprint; even twin studies suggest
that while the each twin has the same DNA carbon copy, the ridges and valleys
of their fingerprints are determined by the stress received in the womb. No
twin has the same exact fingerprints. Hence, biometric technique such as
fingerprint, iris, facial recognition, voice and etc have
been well accepted for security products.
For
a fingerprint to work as a security solution, the image of a fingerprint is
transformed using an algorithm to be stored as a
string of numbers as identification. Matching live fingerprint needs to be
produced for identity verification before the system could proceed to other instructions
such as opening doors and all activities are recorded for audit trails. The
advancement of fingerprint technology makes it difficult for any culprit to
steal an identity to access a certain premise unnoticed.
