| Biometric Advantages and Disadvantages |  Biometric technologies can be installed in areas requiring logical access solutions. It can be used to access personal computers, applications, networks, financial accounts, human resource records, telephone system and invoke customized profiles to enhance the mobility of the disabled.
In a business-to-business scenario, the biometric authentication system can be linked to the business processes of a company to increase accountability of vendors, financial systems and supplier transactions; the results can be extremely profitable. The global expansion of the Internet has made the products and services of companies available 24/7, provided the consumer a user name and password to login. Frequently consumers forget his/her password, user name, or both.
By installing a biometric authentication system consumers can prefer to register their biometric trait or smart card, which will allow a consumer to access their account and pay for goods and services (e-commerce). The best part is that a consumer will never forget or lose his/her user name or password, and will be able to conduct business to their advantage. A biometric authentications system can be applied to areas requiring physical access solutions, such as entry into a building, a room, a safe or it may be used to start a motorized vehicle.
Additionally, a biometric authentication system can easily be linked to a computer-based application used to monitor time and attendance of employees as they enter and leave company facilities. In short, contactless biometrics can and do lend themselves to people of all ability levels.
Disadvantages of biometric technologies.
Disabled people may have problems with contact biometrics. It is happened because they do want to use it, but, for example, they can’t take up position that will allow them to use the biometric or because the biometric authentication system (solution) is not adaptable to them. For example, if the user is blind a voice biometric may be more appropriate.
