Advantages And Disadvantages Of Biometrics

2093 Words9 Pages
ABSTRACT
The key aspect of this research paper is to establish and appraise the current access keycard and password system used in the University of Botswana (UB) against the alternative biometric access control system. Biometrics attributes to the automated recognition of a person based upon their physiological and behavioral characteristics. The experts around the world agree on the concept of biometrics and the types of personalized attributes it revolves around. Using biometrics makes it possible to substantiate a person’s identity based on their physical attributes rather than their possessions (e.g.ID keycard) or what they know (e.g. passwords). Biometric Access Control (ABAC) system is expected to certify and authenticate membership status of the user by employing biometric signals without prior knowledge of their true identity. This might help curb possibilities of security access breaches by hackers and imposters which can sabotage the integral purity of the information within the University of Botswana database servers. Hypothetically speaking a solution could be achieved through the use of biometrical access control systems as this paper mainly focuses on access control.

In todays current society, the Federal Constitution provides that the times, places, and manner of holding elections for Senators and Representatives is prescribed in each state by the state legislature. Congress is allowed to grant power by holding elections, which is where power is matched, by the state to control over the election process for state offices. Overall, state qualifications to vote are set by the states, subject to certain restrictions in the Constitution and its Amendments and the authority of the federal government in enforcing the Fifteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause. The authority has limits based in the Constitution and its Amendments. States may not use certain factors in determining qualification.

Should All Police Officers Wear Body Cameras? Surely everyone has wondered about the accountability of police officers, but maybe this will no longer be an issue. With the help of police body cameras, officers will be accountable for the good they do, and in some situations the awful actions. Although police body cameras would be a moral idea, there are some downsides. The body cameras could be seen as an invasion of privacy, as they would record everyday behavior for police officers, which is not necessary to record.

The act of “Stop and Frisk” began in the early 1900’s when crime rates began to escalate in major cities such as New York, Chicago, and Philadelphia. Stop, question, and frisk, or SQF, is an urban policing measure that involves the large-scale deployment of officers in public spaces (e.g., sidewalks, alleys, the communal outdoor spaces of public housing) tasked with conducting frequent investigative stops (Huq, A. Z. (2017). In the articles provided, it is questioned whether New York’s stop and frisk policy is constitutional or not. I agree with the court's ruling, I believe Judge Scheindlin seemed too involved. “Judge Shira A. Scheindlin, the appeals court said, jeopardized "the appearance of partiality ... by a series of media interviews and public statements purporting to respond publicly to criticism of the District Court”

“In November of 2011, the Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 14, creating a new requirement for voters to show photo identification while voting in person. While pending review within the judicial system, the U.S. Supreme Court issued its opinion in Shelby County v. Holder, which effectively ended all pending litigation. As a result, voters are now required to present an approved form of photo identification in order to vote in all Texas Elections.” (1) When a voter arrives at a polling location, the voter will be asked to present one of the seven acceptable forms of photo ID. Then, the voter will be put through a secondary precaution which is the official list of registered voters also know as the, “OLRV”.

Voter ID laws are two sided, but most Americans feel that it is necessary to prevent voter fraud. Republicans feel that an individual should already have a state ID because this is required by so many government agencies. Unfortunately, the Democrats are the ones to be most likely affected due to their voters’ economic status, disabilities and age. Whereas, Democrats believe that it is a tactic to defer their supporters from voting.

Each new program instituted to combat crimes comes with some controversy and its opponents. None has come under as much scrutiny as New York’s almost notorious Stop and Frick policy. Introduced as an approach to lever crime in The Big Apply, it has been scrutinized by what is being characterized as unconstitutional practice. Created under Mayor Michael Bloomberg, it has been credited at curbing crime and a fundamental tool in effective policing. Conversely, critics have pointed to the policy as being ineffective, racially driven and in clear violation of a person’s civil liberties.

Advancing technology is one of the most important factors leading to police officers, among other types of law enforcement, being able to more quickly, and safely, apprehend a criminal. One of these technologies is that of the Automatic License Plate Recognition system, otherwise referred to as the ALPR. According to Inspector Norm Gaumont and Constable Dave Babineau “ALPR was developed in 1992 at Cambridge University in the United Kingdom in response to terrorism… The United Kingdom continues to lead the way when it comes to the use of ALPR technology”. The Automatic License Plate Recognition system operates through two cameras which can be mounted on police cars, vans, stoplights or other stationary objects.

Gaits main advantage, unobtrusive identification at a distance, makes it a very attractive biometric. The ability to identify a possible threat from a distance, gives the user a time frame in which to react before the suspect becomes a possible threat. Another motivation is that video footage of suspects are readily available, as surveillance cameras are relatively low cost and installed in most buildings or locations requiring a security presence, the video just needs to be checked against that of the suspect. As well as the inherent advantages of gait, the increase in processor power, along with the fall in price of high speed memory and data storage devices have all contributed to the increased availability and applicability of computer vision and video processing techniques. Real time video processing, which is required for gait recognition is a feasible possibility on current home PC technology, making this technology a viable security application.

On the complement, face identification is a 1: N problem. It is used compares a query face image against all image templates in a face database. Face recognition has distinct advantages over biometrics systems using finger print/palm print and iris, because of its non-contact process. It is mainly used in security systems. Face images can be captured from a distance without touching the person and the identification does not require interacting with the person.
