...U.S. Department of Homeland Security February 28, 2007 UPDATE New Biometrics Process for Conditional Permanent Residents U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announces the implementation of a new nationwide biometrics process for conditional permanent residents who file Form I-751, Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence. The new process is effective immediately. Under the old process, following the approval of Form I-751, an approval notice was issued instructing the applicant to appear at a USCIS District Office for processing of his or her Form I-551, Permanent Resident Card (“Green Card”). The approved applicant would manually submit passport-style photographs, index fingerprints, and a signature on Form I-89, I-551 or I-586 Card Data Collection Form, for creation of his or her permanent resident card. The new process, as authorized in 71 Federal Register 15469 (March 28, 2006), requires all conditional permanent residents to appear at a USCIS Application Support Center (ASC) after filing Form I-751 in order to have their biometrics electronically captured. An ASC appointment notice will automatically be sent by mail to the applicant with the specific date, time and location for biometric processing. Biometric processing includes the electronic capture of an applicant’s photograph, signature, index fingerprint and ten-print fingerprints. The photograph, signature and index fingerprint are used to generate the lawful permanent resident card, if the Form...

...Biometrics within Financial Institutions Abstract This paper presents a problem with the use of technology within the Credit Unions and Banking industries. Technological innovations have allowed the industry to be more open to consumers and challenges that the current economy has posed. Modern technology is also change the landscape of how, when and where business is conducted with financial institutions and consumers, businesses, and other organizations. Technology driven issues such as privacy, security and trust, have been pushed to the forefront, which makes the line between mobile banking and banking online increasing difficult to distinguish. Credit Unions like other banking institutions rely on gathering, processing, analyzing and providing information to meet the demands of the consumer. Given the importance of information systems within banking its not surprising to find, risks within the systems are developing in nature. History Truliant Federal Credit Union was started in Winston-Salem, North Carolina around 1952. They serve over 180,000 member owners and more than 900 business and organizations with $1.6 billion in assets. Truliant as it will be referred to in this paper has 21 financial locations in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. One philosophy that stands out or is a representation of what this particular Credit Union stands for is “ people helping people”. Like other not for profit organizations, they provide individuals and small business with...

...officials in identifying a criminal suspect. The technological advances that continue to assist the criminal justice system in these identifications are Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) analysis, biometric identification, Intra-agency databases for DNA, fingerprinting and palm printing, and camera and wiretap surveillance. Each aspect serves a specific purpose in making certain that the right person is properly identified for the crimes that they commit. Each technological aspect makes certain that the criminal justice system can prove without a doubt that the person under arrest is the person responsible for committing the crime. Criminal Identification Procedures Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) analysis is an examination method that allows any organism to be identified, by its genetic sequences. DNA analysis is highly accurate, important, and used all across the world for important reasons. The main purpose for DNA analysis is identifying individuals who are suspects in criminal cases, identifying victims or their remains when other means of identity is not possible. The advantages of DNA analysis are reliable, accurate results, and helps solving old and new cases. The disadvantage of DNA analysis is it reveals information on physical state, this information is sensitive and must be guarded. Biometric Identification is a system based around the main physical characteristics of the human body such as finger print identification, hand geometry, palm vein authentication, retina scan, iris...

...UVOD Biometrija je znanost o automatiziranim postupcima za jedinstveno prepoznavanje ljudi na temelju jednog ili više urođenih tjelesnih obilježja, ili obilježja čovjekovog ponašanja. Biometrija je danas u IT svijetu našla veliku primjenu zbog potrebe za sigurnošću. Iako se korisničko ime i lozinka još koriste za osobne potrebe na mjestima gdje je potrebna veća sigurnost koristi se neka od urođenih tjelesnih obilježja čovjeka, poput otiska prsta, geometrija šake i lica i izgled mrežnjače oka. Primjena ovih obiljažja čovjeka su popolarna zbog činjenice da ne postoje dva čovjeka s istim otiskom prsta, izgledom rožnice oko ili iste geometije lica. Danas se prepoznavanje osoba obavlja na dva načina: • Prepoznavanje pomoću identifikacijskih dokumenata • Prepoznavanje temeljeno na sigurnosnom ključu Prepoznavanje pomoću identifikacijskih dokumenata: Identifikacijski dokument predstavlja identitet osobe koja ga nosi. Ako je identifikacijski dokument u obliku male standardizirane kartice, tada se on naziva identifikacijska kartica. U mnogim slučajevima različiti dokumenti kao putovnica, vozačka dozvola, kartica zdravstvenog osiguranja mogu poslužiti kao identifikacijski dokumenti. Nedostatak ove metode je postojanje mogućnosti lažnog predstavljanja neke druge osobe ukoliko se domogne tuđeg identifikacijskog dokumenta. To može imati štetne posljedice za vlasnika identifikacijskog dokumenta. Prepoznavanje temeljeno na sigurnosnom ključu: Sigurnosni ključ je...

The cost was much higher than most companies dreamed of spending. Username and passwords were an effective and efficient means of security. Computer security was not looked at as a must, but more of a way to keep honest people honest. However, as computing power increased, and corporate espionage has led to massive losses for companies, computer security needs increased. Passwords just were not the best means of securing a network anymore. At the same time, improvements in technology made the use of biometrics more efficient. We will now examine the different types of biometric and how they will make the network more secure. Biometrics to Secure Networks For years, passwords have been the method used to secure networks. A user would input his or her userid and password to gain access. Many times, the userid was also the first portion of the users E-mail address. This means...

...the first biometric security systems appeared in the market, an increasing demand for novel techniques that will cover all different scenarios, has been observed. Every new method appears to outmatch some of its competitors but, at the same time, presents disadvantages compared to others. However, there is still no method that consists a single panacea to all different scenarios and demands for security. This is the reason for which researchers are on a continuous effort for more efficient and generic biometric modalities that can be used in various applications. In this chapter, emerging biometric modalities that appeared in the last years in order to improve the performance of biometric recognition systems, are presented. The presented methods are divided in two major categories, intrusive and non-intrusive ones, according to the level of user nuisance that each system sets off. 1 Introduction Biometric recognition is a well-known research area that aims to provide more efficient solutions to everyday growing human need for security. Biometrics refers to methods that can be used for uniquely recognizing humans based upon one or more intrinsic physical or behavioral characteristics. In information technology, in particular, biometrics are used as a tool for efficient and reliable identity management and access control. Biometrics are also used in surveillance applications in order to identify individuals. The last decade, a large number of novel biometric modalities...

...Abstract ABSTRACT One of the main goals of computer vision research is to develop methods for recognition of objects and events. A subclass of these problems is the recognition of humans and their activities. Recognition of humans from arbitrary viewpoints is an important requirement for different applications such as intelligent environments, surveillance and access control. Human gait is an attractive modality for recognizing people at a distance. Human gait is a spatio-temporal phenomenon that characterizes the motion characteristics of an individual. There is an increased interest in gait as a biometric, mainly due to its nonintrusive as well as non-concealable nature. It is possible to detect and measure gait even in low resolution video. Our goal is to establish a simple baseline method for human identification based on body shape and gait. Our project describes a representation of the dynamics of human walking action for the purpose of person identification and classification by gait appearance. The outer contour of the binarized silhouette of a walking person is chosen as the basic image feature. This project is also based on face recognition software to obtain recognition in a short period of time interval after the image is searched.. Since there has been significant improvement in the sector of retrieval systems and recognition based on biometric systems the project gains a lot of weightage in terms of research carried out. 1 Introduction 1.

...CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.0 BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY Staff attenda nce management of an institution or organization can be very laborious using the conventional method of paper sheets and old file system method. Every corporate organization poses some standards concerning how attendance is to be confirmed for staff in offices. This is to enable the management of the organization identify those staff that are punctual and competent, that is why keeping the accurate record of attendance is very important. Also in institutions, tracking and monitoring staff time of attendance could pose a tedious task, time consuming and as well prone to errors. As an alternative to the traditional manual clocking process by staff in offices, biometrics characteristics can be used for authenticating staff. This research will focus on developing a Fingerprint based Biometric Clocking System. The fingerprint Biometrics is adopted in this research work due to the fact that it is one of the most successful applications of biometric technology. In the manual signing processes, where a sheet of paper is placed at the entrance of the office for staff to write their names and signature as a form of confirming their presence for a particular day in the office, falsification in staff attendance mostly occur. A situation whereby a staff can sign on behalf of his or her colleague as being present in the office when that is not true. This can be so difficult to prevent from happening especially for large...

The computer processing idea has been around for hundreds of years but the equipment has only been available for the past several decades evolving to become better with each step. The need for a formal system to record and identify first-time and repeated offenders in the 1800s led the known Bertillon to develop anthropometrics to identify individuals. This advancement was later linked with computer systems to create a true biometric system identifier. The several types of biometric identifiers, later discussed, have evolved from a mere idea to an implemented security system used in airports, government programs, and even small businesses. The technology is used globally from the US to the UK, India, Germany, and many more. Its long history has created responsiveness and allowed countries to embrace the welfares of such a...

...the near future. It has been called ''biometrics". The pioneers of this new domain intend to construct devices which would allow identification of a person on the basis of his or her ''biological'' characteristics which is voice, movements, features of face and other parts of the body, retina or iris pattern. Nature has made human beings with different characteristics which may vary from one person to another. This property is made use of by Biometric technology to distinctly identify each person. This paper gives an overview of key biometric technologies and basic technique involved. The various opportunities for biometrics are mentioned, followed by the the benefits of the biometric and identification, the actual issue or current potential problems and abuses, and appropriate guidelines of identification and biometrics technology. Introduction Biometric technology involves effective methods of individual identification/authentication through its recognition of unique physiological characteristics. Although still a developing technology which contains deficiencies, it is generally considered to be a highly accurate and widely applicable security measure. However, growing public awareness of this technology has been accompanied by increasing concerns about ethical issues associated with its use.
