Discussing the biometrics and all of the great possibilities is great but o they actually work when
needed and what are some proven methods that do work? The first obvious answer is the one that
everyone talks about and that is the fingerprint scanner. This can be used to control access into a
building by simply granting or denying access to people who scan their fingers. This is the most
often used because it is inexpensive and that vast majority of people do not have a problem
scanning their fingers as it seems less invasive. You can install one at every entry point of the
building and instantly boost security and with a price range between $326-2,600 you can get the
right one for your business. This is a proven method because a quick google search can direct
into the waiting arms of several companies trying to sell their security methods to you, they
would not be making millions if their methods were crap Another proven method is the iris
scanner at points of entry to your high rise building and these can be even more secure than
fingerprint scanner. Their price range is even less expensive than finger print scanner but there is
one significant downside to iris scanners and that is most people are apprehensive to use it
because they feel it is more invasive. There are several other proven methods such as hang
geometry readers and voice recognition but the limits all depend upon what you can think of and
what you need to secure.

The best for of security is the ones that fit the company the best. There cannot be a blanket
statement on this due to the different needs. I personally would say that facial recognition
would be the best fit for most companies. It is hard to fake, easy to set up, noninvasive, and
many times the user doesn’t even know they are being scanned. If that was not an option I
would do fingerprint scanning because it is just as effective and not invasive. The only downside
to this method is that the scanners today often need you to be just perfect before it will accept
a scan. This can be very frustrating. For higher level security and for people who don’t care
about being scanned, iris and retina scan. These are impossible to change in a person and it
doesn’t change all their life. The process to scan is a little more invasive for the user but it is the
most secure in my mind. After those, I would use voice or signature authentication due to its
simplicity and easy use.

The US-VISIT (Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator) biometric identification and analysis
services have been the bedrock of Department of Homeland Security biometric solutions since
2009. The Department of States (States), U.S Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S
CoastGuard, Department of Defense and Intelligence Community (DoD), and the Department of
Justice and State and Local Law Enforcement have all adopted biometric solutions for access
control solutions (US-Visit, 2008). The CBP, in particular, has recently lead the charge in
implementing biometric solutions for access controls for both border and air travel applications.
CBP officers follow a strict federally mandated policy that requires all US-Visit applicants to
provide “two digital fingerprints and a photograph from all non-U.S citizens between the ages of
fourteen and seventy-nine, with some exceptions” (US-Visit). Non-U.S citizens applying for a
visa and those who have arrived at U.S ports of entry must meet biometric requirements.
A success story found on the DHS website tells of a man that applied for asylum at a U.S asylum
office. The man provided his biometric data for DHS authentication when the process was
complete the results revealed the man identifies as three different aliases with the various dates
of birth. Also, his criminal history includes rape, assault, and an outstanding warrant for his
immediate arrest. The asylum office contacted ICE who later arrived and formally arrested the
man (US-Visit, 2008).
