Selection Process
- Biometric Taxonomy
|
The following 'biometric
taxonomy' also applies when evaluating the use of
biometrics: |
-
Cooperative
vs. Non-cooperative
- Are users willingly
participating?
-
Overt
vs. Covert
- Are user knowingly
participating?
-
Habituated
vs. Non-habituated
- Are users familiar
with the system?
-
Supervised
vs. Non-supervised
- Is the user alone
when using the system?
-
Stable environment
vs. Unstable
- Are the factors
changing with time
-
Optional
vs. Mandatory
- Are users required to
use the system?
|
|
While certain
technologies such as token and fingerprint work
generally work fine in a cooperative setting, face
recognition has established a market in non-cooperative
settings. Overall it can be said that biometrics and
token technologies perform best in settings defined by
the left column. A flexible system will allow a customer
to consider all of these factors and provide a choice of
technologies. |
