Eikon Digital Privacy Manager - USB fingerprint reader

The Upek Eikon Digital Privacy Manager reader is a portable, digital fingerprint scanner that can be used for various security-related tasks on your computer.

'Passwords are a Pain', a slogan on Upek's website, is a sentiment that most people would agree with. Necessary, but awkward parts of our modern digital life.

An alternative way of identifying a unique user is the fingerprint scanner. Formerly the domain of science fiction, the means to securely and accurately identify an individual by their fingerprints on a PC is now upon us.

The Upek Eikon Digital Privacy Manager reader itself is a neat tabletop widget little bigger than a pack of chewing gum, with a shallow curve along which you can run the underside of your fingertip. Once the software is installed, the enrollment process asks you to register one or more fingers, a process that asks for each finger to be recorded three times for consistency.

Biometic Device Measurement

 The following are used as performance metrics for biometric systems:

    * false accept rate or false match rate (FAR or FMR) – the probability that the system incorrectly matches the input pattern to a non-matching template in the database. It measures the percent of invalid inputs which are incorrectly accepted.

    * false reject rate or false non-match rate (FRR or FNMR) – the probability that the system fails to detect a match between the input pattern and a matching template in the database. It measures the percent of valid inputs which are incorrectly rejected.

    * receiver operating characteristic or relative operating characteristic (ROC) – The ROC plot is a visual characterization of the trade-off between the FAR and the FRR. In general, the matching algorithm performs a decision based on a threshold which determines how close to a template the input needs to be for it to be considered a match. If the threshold is reduced, there will be less false non-matches but more false accepts. Correspondingly, a higher threshold will reduce the FAR but increase the FRR. A common variation is the Detection error trade-off (DET), which is obtained using normal deviate scales on both axes. This more linear graph illuminates the differences for higher performances (rarer errors).

Biometric Device. How It Works?

Simply put, the workings of biometric devices is divided into two processes, namely:

1. The process of registration (enrollment).

In this process, first scanner to read the object (fingerprint and his friends) and then processed to form certain patterns are then stored in the database. Here Database can be on the computer to type online tools or databases on the machine itself for standalone type.

2. The scanning process.

In this process, first scanner to read the object (fingerprint and his friends) and then processed to form certain patterns and then matched with data patterns stored in the database. If a match is found, it will display a confirmation that the object matches the stored data. If not found, then the confirmation mismatches will be raised.

Biometric Types

There are several organs and behaviors unique to each person. Very difficult to find common parts of the body in different people even though twins. For that biometric system was developed as a unique identifier, for example as a fingerprint attendance, access control and others. Some of the things that developed into biometric devices are:

1. Fingerprint. Image of finger strokes on the form of the ridges and valleys  which is used as a means of identification.
2. Face. The pattern of facial features that are used as a means of identification.
3. Iris Eyes. Iris pattern which is used as a means of identification.
4. Retina Eye. The flow of blood vessels in the retina that is used as a means of identification.
5. The size of the hand (Hand Geometry). Used as an identification tool is a 3-dimensional size of the hand, including finger length or width of the palm.

About Biometric

Biometrics is a unique physical or a  behavior in a person. Biometrics is a new technology which has the main function to recognize a person through fingerprints, face, eyes or other body parts. Advantages of biometric systems include:  
1. Biometric difficult to be lost (physical) or forgotten (behavior), except for certain factors, such as damage to the injured finger.  
2. Biometric difficult to be imitated or copied.  
3. Biometrics requires the owners concerned to be present at the identification done.
 

There are basically two kinds of security processes using biometric systems, are:
