Part One
Some common biometric techniques include:
Fingerprint recognition
Signature dynamics
Iris scanning
Retina scanning
Voice prints
Face recognition
Select one of these biometric techniques and explain the benefits and the vulnerabilities associated with that method in 3-4 paragraphs.
Part Two
Many people believe that the use of biometrics is an invasion of privacy. For example, an eye scanning device records the inner structure of a person’s eye and stores that image in a database. Critics worry that databases of human traits used to maintain corporate security may actually pose a privacy threat to individuals if such data were used in other ways. In your view, are such concerns justified? Why or why not? Write it in 200 words
