...Biometrics within Financial Institutions Abstract This paper presents a problem with the use of technology within the Credit Unions and Banking industries. Technological innovations have allowed the industry to be more open to consumers and challenges that the current economy has posed. Modern technology is also change the landscape of how, when and where business is conducted with financial institutions and consumers, businesses, and other organizations. Technology driven issues such as privacy, security and trust, have been pushed to the forefront, which makes the line between mobile banking and banking online increasing difficult to distinguish. Credit Unions like other banking institutions rely on gathering, processing, analyzing and providing information to meet the demands of the consumer. Given the importance of information systems within banking its not surprising to find, risks within the systems are developing in nature. History Truliant Federal Credit Union was started in Winston-Salem, North Carolina around 1952. They serve over 180,000 member owners and more than 900 business and organizations with $1.6 billion in assets. Truliant as it will be referred to in this paper has 21 financial locations in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. One philosophy that stands out or is a representation of what this particular Credit Union stands for is “ people helping people”. Like other not for profit organizations, they provide individuals and small business with...

...officials in identifying a criminal suspect. The technological advances that continue to assist the criminal justice system in these identifications are Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) analysis, biometric identification, Intra-agency databases for DNA, fingerprinting and palm printing, and camera and wiretap surveillance. Each aspect serves a specific purpose in making certain that the right person is properly identified for the crimes that they commit. Each technological aspect makes certain that the criminal justice system can prove without a doubt that the person under arrest is the person responsible for committing the crime. Criminal Identification Procedures Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) analysis is an examination method that allows any organism to be identified, by its genetic sequences. DNA analysis is highly accurate, important, and used all across the world for important reasons. The main purpose for DNA analysis is identifying individuals who are suspects in criminal cases, identifying victims or their remains when other means of identity is not possible. The advantages of DNA analysis are reliable, accurate results, and helps solving old and new cases. The disadvantage of DNA analysis is it reveals information on physical state, this information is sensitive and must be guarded. Biometric Identification is a system based around the main physical characteristics of the human body such as finger print identification, hand geometry, palm vein authentication, retina scan, iris...

...and will also discuss over positive and negative effects due to new technologies. Mobile data terminals are used in the criminal justice system as a form of specialized database to help with communication. “A mobile data terminal (MDT) is a computerized device used in public transit vehicles and emergency vehicles to communicate with a central dispatch office” (Versaterm, 2011). There are many large police agencies that require all law enforcement officers to have a wireless mobile terminal system installed in their vehicles. This database can help law enforcement officers with workload management in the communication center and they can also help better time management of officers and help greater efficiency. Mobile data terminals can also help with communication between officers and dispatch by letting the officers have access to dispatch receipts, status updates, access to other unit statuses and they can also view any traffic stop updates. Overall, mobile data terminals have helped increase communication between officers and dispatch in the criminal justice system (Versaterm, 2011). Another type of specialized database that is used in the criminal justice system is known as iris scans. “Iris scans is a method of biometric...

...1. While users were updating the Premiere Products database, one of the transactions was interrupted. You need to explain to management what steps the DBMS will take to correct the database. Using the sample log in Figure 7-1 1, list and describe the updates that the DBMS will roll back if transaction 2 is interrupted at 8:10. In transaction 2, the DBMS started it at 8:01, added an Orders table record at 8:02, and added an Order Line table record at8:05 and added an Order Line table record at 8:09. To roll back the transaction, the DBMS deletes the three added records. 2. Occasionally, users at Premiere Products obtain incorrect results when they run queries that include built-in (aggregate, summary, or statistical) functions. The DBA told management that unrepeatable reads caused the problems. Use books, articles, and/or the Internet to research the unrepeatable read problem. Write a short report that explains the unrepeatable-read problem to management and use an example with y our explanation. (Unrepeatable reads are also called inconsistent retrievals, dirty reads, and inconsistent reads.) Unrepeatable-Read Problems occur many times when a different result is seen from the same query while still in progress. This usually happens when dealing with the UPDATE command by other transactions. An unrepeatable read (also called an inconsistent retrieval, dirty read, or inconsistent read) occurs when a user’s retrieval transaction reads a set of data that other users’ transactions...

... Unit 3. Assignment 1 - Remote Access Control Policy Definition There are three key parts I will have to take into account while designing a Remote Access Control Policy for Richman Investments. These three parts (Identification, Authentication and Authorization) will not be all for the Remote Access Control Policy, I will need to include the appropriate access controls for systems, applications and data access. I will also need to include my justification for using the selected access controls for systems, applications and data access. The first part I need to implement for this Remote Access Control Policy is Identification, which is defined in this sense as: physical keys or cards, smart cards, and other physical devices that might be used to gain access to something. What needs to be done for the Remote Access Control Policy is a group member policy needs to be setup which uniquely identifies each user. Users should be identified by rank with higher ranking users requiring more authentication. Each individual user should be assigned to a group based on rank with special permissions. Using this system for Identification will make our company more secure in day to day operations. The second part I need to implement for this remote access control policy is Authentication, which is defined as: what you know or passwords, numeric keys, PIN numbers, secret questions and answers. For remote access, there must be proof that the person is who they...

...Title (2) Biometric scanning system types and which one is more effectiveness in a workplace Biometric recognition, or biometrics, refers to the automatic authentication of a person based on his or her physiological or behavioural characteristics (Jain, Bolle, and Pankanti 1999a; Maltoni, Maio, Jain, and Prabhakar 2003). One of the most important technologies which acts as a human being identify required purpose. Nowadays there were great progresses in technology of access for companies which it using human being body to identify the identity of the person. In the past Human beings used fingerprint to identity for signature. Biometric technology looks like a revolution for modern society for example, Iris and AFIS (Automatic Finger Print Identification System). Although fingerprint has a good feature to identify people but I will argue that iris system has shown the best performance to do the required purpose of scanning and identification more accurately than fingerprint. Reliability Fingerprint is a biometric device by which the people been identified through scanning fingerprint of the person and save the data to store the fingerprint image. Furthermore fingerprint identification scanning is reliability because fingerprint identification and authentication is the mature biometric technology (Komarinski, 2005). Firstly, the fingerprint is reliable because it includes quite huge information and will keep for all life of human being, In spite of the fingerprint just...

...Abstract In recent year’s biometrics have started to make a major positive impact in our nation’s police departments. Biometrics is a technology that can make police departments safer, more effective and more efficient by saving time and money. Biometrics uses a person’s biological markers such as fingerprints, palm prints, facial features, and iris information for various uses. This paper will discuss how biometrics is applied to police technology such as smart guns, iris scanners, fingerprint scanners, and facial recognition systems. This document hopes to provide police departments with enough information to make an informed decision on bringing biometric technology into their units. This document will also touch on amendment rights pertaining to biometric technology in order to make departments aware of how this technology pertains to a citizen’s civil rights. Biometrics is rapidly advancing in our society and police departments need to be aware of how beneficial this technology really is. Biometrics: How Are Police Departments Utilizing This Technology? Biometrics is defined as using inherent human characteristics as a form of identification and access control. There are more than six billion people on our planet and each one can be identified as different by their biometric characteristics (Baker, 2011). With that many people out there police officers now more than ever need a quick and accurate way to identify suspects when working the field. The way they...

...arbitrary viewpoints is an important requirement for different applications such as intelligent environments, surveillance and access control. Human gait is an attractive modality for recognizing people at a distance. Human gait is a spatio-temporal phenomenon that characterizes the motion characteristics of an individual. There is an increased interest in gait as a biometric, mainly due to its nonintrusive as well as non-concealable nature. It is possible to detect and measure gait even in low resolution video. Our goal is to establish a simple baseline method for human identification based on body shape and gait. Our project describes a representation of the dynamics of human walking action for the purpose of person identification and classification by gait appearance. The outer contour of the binarized silhouette of a walking person is chosen as the basic image feature. This project is also based on face recognition software to obtain recognition in a short period of time interval after the image is searched.. Since there has been significant improvement in the sector of retrieval systems and recognition based on biometric systems the project gains a lot of weightage in terms of research carried out. 1 Introduction 1.

...institutions, tracking and monitoring staff time of attendance could pose a tedious task, time consuming and as well prone to errors. As an alternative to the traditional manual clocking process by staff in offices, biometrics characteristics can be used for authenticating staff. This research will focus on developing a Fingerprint based Biometric Clocking System. The fingerprint Biometrics is adopted in this research work due to the fact that it is one of the most successful applications of biometric technology. In the manual signing processes, where a sheet of paper is placed at the entrance of the office for staff to write their names and signature as a form of confirming their presence for a particular day in the office, falsification in staff attendance mostly occur. A situation whereby a staff can sign on behalf of his or her colleague as being present in the office when that is not true. This can be so difficult to prevent from happening especially for large offices where row count can take longer time. The trending concern in this modern age is regarding national security, identifying theft as well as on-line terrorism. Researcher refers to Biometric as a solution for detecting user’s identity and security challenges emanating in this modern day. Biometric identification is any automatically measurable, robust and distinctive physical...

...the near future. It has been called ''biometrics". The pioneers of this new domain intend to construct devices which would allow identification of a person on the basis of his or her ''biological'' characteristics which is voice, movements, features of face and other parts of the body, retina or iris pattern. Nature has made human beings with different characteristics which may vary from one person to another. This property is made use of by Biometric technology to distinctly identify each person. This paper gives an overview of key biometric technologies and basic technique involved. The various opportunities for biometrics are mentioned, followed by the the benefits of the biometric and identification, the actual issue or current potential problems and abuses, and appropriate guidelines of identification and biometrics technology. Introduction Biometric technology involves effective methods of individual identification/authentication through its recognition of unique physiological characteristics. Although still a developing technology which contains deficiencies, it is generally considered to be a highly accurate and widely applicable security measure. However, growing public awareness of this technology has been accompanied by increasing concerns about ethical issues associated with its use. Biometric Systems Biometrics are automated methods of recognizing a person based on a physiological or behavior characteristics. Biometrics technologies are becoming the foundation...

...springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-642-01793-3_20 Eigenvalue estimation plays an important role in biometrics. However, if the number of samples is limited, estimates are significantly biased. In this article we analyse the influence of this bias on the error rates of PCA/LDA based verification systems, using both synthetic data with realistic parameters and real biometric data. Results of bias correction in the verification systems differ considerable between synthetic data and real data: while the bias is responsible for a large part of classification errors in the synthetic facial data, compensation of the bias in real facial data leads only to marginal improvements. https://www.eff.org/wp/biometrics-whos-watching-you September 14, 2003 September 2003 Introduction Among the many reactions to the September 11 tragedy has been a renewed attention to biometrics. The federal government has led the way with its new concern about border control. Other proposals include the use of biometrics with ID cards and in airports, e.g. video surveillance enhanced by facial-recognition technology. The purpose of this document is to sketch out EFF's concerns about biometrics. In today's public arena, biometric technologies are being marketed as a "silver bullet" for terrorism; however, very little independent, objective scientific testing of biometrics has been done. Deploying biometric systems without sufficient attention to their dangers makes them likely to be used in a way dangerous...
