Danger to owner of secured items Danger to owner of secured items

When thieves cannot get access to secure properties, there is a chance that the thieves will stalk and assault the property owner to gain access. If the item is secured with a biometric device, the damage to the owner could be irreversible, and potentially cost more than the secured property. For example, in 2005, Malaysian car thieves cut off the finger of a Mercedes-Benz S-Class owner when attempting to steal the car.

Use of Biometric Use of Biometric DevicesDevices

Biometric devices are used all over the world like India,Canada, Australia etc. In Pakistan Biometric devices are also being used in several areas of life.➲Educational Institute ➲Hospital ➲Offices Libraries➲Shopping Malls ➲Housing societies etc.

How Biometric devices Work

➲ Biometrics is a word that comes from two Greek words bios, which means life, and metron, which means measure. Biometrics then are a measure of some aspect of life. A biometric device uses physical or behavioral traits and identifies people with those traits. In reality, a biometric devices scans the aspect of life – such as a fingerprint or voice pattern – and extracts data from it which it stores and then uses to compare the next time you want to access whatever the biometric device is keeping secure.

Its Very difficult to keep and maintain hard data about the attendance of individual in offices, Some offices Calculate there employees salaries . Finger print scanner enables us to keep incoming and outgoing timings of Individuals. These devices are often attach with software’s which prepare evaluation reports it self.

Security policySecurity policy

Some people claim that personal data will be used because when these devices attach with software’s contain several information about individual and some time very personal information, so there must be security policy to keep the data safe and secure
