CISA Certified Information Systems Auditor – Question1643
Which of the following biometrics has the highest reliability and lowest false-acceptance rate (FAR)? A. Palm scan B. Face recognition C. Retina scan D. Hand geometry
Correct Answer: C
Explanation:
Explanation:
Retina scan uses optical technology to map the capillary pattern of an eye’s retina. This is highly reliable and has the lowest false-acceptance rate (FAR) among the current biometric methods. Use of palm scanning entails placing a hand on a scanner where a palm’s physical characteristics are captured. Hand geometry, one of the oldest techniques, measures the physical characteristics of the user’s hands and fingers from a three dimensional perspective. The palm and hand biometric techniques lack uniqueness in the geometry data. In face biometrics, a reader analyzes the images captured for general facial characteristics. Though considered a natural and friendly biometric, the main disadvantage of face recognition is the lack of uniqueness, which means that people looking alike can fool the device.
