Protecting Identity Using Biometrics Protection Systems

Biometrics Identity Management (BIdM) is a newly rising and developingdiscipline which could be expressed as the study of verification and validationmethods for the next generation. The two key terms enclosed in the title of thispaper are– “Biometrics Vulnerabilities” and “Identity Management”. Every one ofus has an identity. By utilizing this identity along with distinctive characteristicswe distinguish ourselves from one another. By cross referencing the data fromboth sources, a guideline that would adapt the best practices to maintain thesequence of BIdM and identity theft integrity was designed. Based on thefindings a guideline is proposed to the experts and end-users to use. A walkthrough with the BIdM consultant was done to identify areas of improvement tofine tune the artifact.For proper identity management this guideline can be used as the processes indata collection and data maintenance procedures are included. The proceduresinclude extracting the data from data collection for proofs, data matching andhandling the data in an appropriate way. The guideline will have its proper BIdMtechniques by having the best practices of tackling its vulnerabilities.Databases having biometric data are themselves a threat to privacy. Whiledistinguishing gaps in BIdM and discovering new approaches to tackle thevulnerabilities, issues and protect such databases and increasing the awarenessprograms, this research can be further extended.
