Which of the following is an example of biometric protection?
Password
Fingerprint
Security question
PIN
The first step in the fingerprint enrolment process is:
Capturing the fingerprint image
Storing the fingerprint data
Analyzing the fingerprint pattern
Verifying the fingerprint
After the user's fingerprint is scanned in the enrolment process, what is the next step?
The fingerprint data is stored in the database.
The user receives a confirmation email.
The system logs the user out.
The user is asked to scan their fingerprint again.
Which of the following is a step in the fingerprint enrolment process?
The data is stored in a database
The fingerprint is printed on paper
The fingerprint is erased
The fingerprint is ignored
True or False: An algorithm converts the locations into data during the fingerprint enrolment process.
True
False
The fingerprint verification process works by:
comparing the fingerprint with a database of known fingerprints
analyzing the color of the fingerprint
measuring the temperature of the fingerprint
scanning the fingerprint for viruses
The principle behind other types of biometric security is based on:
unique biological characteristics
passwords and PINs
encryption algorithms
firewall protection
Verification is a repeat of the process, except that data is compared to existing _______ records.
data
information
files
documents
Which of the following are advantages of biometric enrolment and verification processes, considering fingerprint identification, facial or retina recognition?
