Topic Suggestion

Future Vulnerabilities of Biometrics

Proposed article introduction

Biometric concept uses combination of algorithm and pseudocode which is generated by automated systems to give identity based on biological and behavioral features. These biological technologies involves fingerprint, voice-recognition, face recognition and retina scanner. The biometric technologies are stored in a specific file (like the database), which is later used to match the identity of the owner. Incase hackers get access to these file, they can easily extract information within these file to match the identity of the owner without there consent, which is insecure and makes data to be vulnerable, hence compromises the confidentiality integrity and availability of information.

Key takeaways

  1. biometrics
  2. Types of biometrics
  3. Storage of biometrics
  4. Vulnerabilities

Article quality

The concept will be theoretical with evidence to proof the whole idea.
