Introduction
This paper includes a memorandum requesting consideration of a blended biometric solution for a specific company. Included in the memorandum is an analysis of the blended attacks that have occurred against the organization and the risks associated with the attacks. This memorandum is to include recommendations for best practices for blended biometric solutions that should be implemented both foreign and domestic by the security administrators for marginalization and prevention.

Included in this memorandum is a history of biometrics along with information in regards to the blended attacks that have occurred recently within the organization both internationally and domestically. Therefore, a blended biometric solution is recommended for the SLP, Inc. organization to strengthen authentication identification for identity its management. The blended biometric solution recommended is Fingerprinting and Retina or Iris Scans. Implementing this blended or combined biometric solution is less expensive comparatively to the combination of other solutions researched such as Face Recognition, Hand Geometry, and Signature …show more content…
In the end, what may prove most useful is the mix of biometric methods. Sophisticated computer network attacks that increase human resource, maintenance and operation costs prompt the need for more advanced security techniques. Without added measures of security, the networks of organizations everywhere will be increasingly susceptible to additional types of attacks.
Biometrics involves being able to compare objects and determining if there is a match.
Biometric authentication captures an image and builds a template of the image to be used for future comparison. Biometric templates are outlines of images stored in a database located on a server. After a blended biometric template has been built and securely stored on a server within a database, the biometric template is scanned into a system in a request for access. When access is requested, the template is recalled and compared to what is located on the network server as described by the template. When a match is identified, access is granted, and if not then access is denied.
