BIOMETRIC TECHNOLOGY

To secure and safeguard information, strategies for managing or monitoring access to information must be in place. You are already familiar with some access-restricting techniques such as passwords, encryption, and so forth. You have also probably used smartcards at some point to gain access. You might also have used fingerprint authentication to access a device, identify yourself, record attendance or open a gate.
Biometric technology can recognize and grant access to people based on physiological traits such as fingerprints, faces, and even DNA. Today, it can also recognize behavioral characteristics such as how you walk or speak. Clearly this has benefits for physical security, but how can biometric technology be used to fight cybercrime and cyber-related crimes?
For this Discussion, your challenge is to evaluate methods of applying biometric technology as a security measure against cybercrime. However, you must do so while considering the controversies the use of this technology raises.
