Case Project
Case Project 10-2 Standard biometrics can use a person’s unique physical characteristics for authentication; these types of devices can use fingerprints or other physical characteristics of a person’s body. There are two types of fingerprint scanners, a static fingerprint and a dynamic fingerprint scanner. By doing research I found that I cannot recommend using these because of their cost and their reliability.
While researching the cost of standard fingerprint biometric readers I found that most of them are relativity cheap. One can find a halfway decent reader for around a hundred dollars. However, this type of biometric security is not worth saving a few dollars on security expenses and another means should be considered when securing your business.
There is a saying that says you get what you pay for and in this instance I found it to true. Fingerprint biometric devices are unreliable. They have been found give access to unauthorized users and not give access to authorized users. With this flaw fingerprint scanners are not reliable and should not be used as a security method.
Recommending the use of fingerprint scanners is not plausible because they are not a hundred percent accurate. Why even use a standard biometric device at a main entrance to a building. The best method of securing an entrance to a building is the old fashion way. By using manpower to man the entry control points to the building to check personnel to ensure they have access to the building.
Keys form the basic foundation for public key infrastructure and it is important that each key be carefully handled. The proper management of keys includes key storage, key usage, and key-handling procedures. There are different ways to store keys; public keys can be stored by embedding the key within digital certificates, while private keys can be stored on a person’s personal computer. However, there are drawbacks to storing keys using software; software can leave openings for an
