Authentication
Is the process where users verifies that they are who they say they are. The user who attempts to perform functions in a system is in fact the user who is authorised to do so.
Methods of Authentications
There are two commonly used authentication methods. They are biometric devices and callback system
Biometric It is a device that translates personal characteristic into a digital code Devices that is compared with a digital code stored in the database
Examples of biometric device is fingerprint recognition , facial recognition, hand geometry, iris scanning, retinal scanning, voice recognition and signature verification system.
Fingerprint Recognition
It also measure blood flow, or check for correctly arrayed ridges at the edges of the fingers
Facial Recognition
Analyses the characteristics of an individuals face images captured through a digital video camera.
Iris Scanning
Analyses the features that exists in the coloured tissues surrounding the pupil which has more than 200 points that can be used for comparison including rings and freckles. The scans use a regular video camera and can be done from further away than a retinal scan.
Retinal Scanning
Involves the scanning of retina and analysing the layer of blood vessels at the back of the eye Involves using the low intensity of light source and optical coupler and can read the patterns at a great level of accuracy. Requires the user to remove glasses and place their eye close to the device.
Voice Recognition
Compares a persons live speech with their stored voice patterns. Requires user to speak into a microphone. Verification time is approximately 5 seconds. To
Recognises the shape of your hand written signature as well as measuring the pressure exerted and the motion used to write the signature. Uses special pen and a special tablet. After pre-processing the signature, several features extracted. The authenticity of a writer is determined by comparing an input signature to a stored reference set consisting of three signatures. The accuracy is fair and the cost involved is excellent.
CALLBACK SYSTEM
Callback system is a checking system that authentics the users. The callback system commonly used in the bank operation and business transaction. Example:, when you called a mcDonald delivery system,the operator will ask you to hang upsince he wants to link you with the other woker.
