Systems Security Certified Practitioner – SSCP – Question0116

Which of the following is the LEAST user accepted biometric device?

A.
Fingerprint
B. Iris scan
C. Retina scan
D. Voice verification

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

The biometric device that is least user accepted is the retina scan, where a system scans the blood-vessel pattern on the backside of the eyeball. When using this device, an individual has to place their eye up to a device, and may require a puff of air to be blown into the eye. The iris scan only needs for an individual to glance at a camera that could be placed above a door.
