Optical scanners record images of the varying characteristics of individual's fingerprints. Electronic fingerprint scans are extremely accurate 95 to 98 percent of the time. However accuracy can vary between genders, race, and chemical residue on the fingers. Fingerprints are difficult to beat, however it has been done. A Japanese researcher discovered ways to create fake fingerprints out of gelatin and therefore hacked the system.

Voice identification works by taking the rhythm, sound, and pattern of an individual's voice, and these things are measured and given a numerical score. Once measured, it is then matched against voices that have similar scores. Voice identification is steadily improving, however it is not as accurate as other …show more content…
Based off of this scan, templates made up of numbers are created and then compared to other templates. Face identification has been beaten by holding up photographs of authorized personnel. An additional discovery was that disguises work less often than facial weight gain or loss to disrupt the system.
Question 2.
The main ethical issues of biometric technology are personal privacy violations, protection and use of personal data, and conflicting beliefs and values with objectification of the body. Other ethical concerns include that some individuals associate fingerprints with criminal activity and are uncomfortable with an involvement in something associated to crime, and that people feel embarrassed when facial recognition or other types of biometrics malfunction and they are rejected by a sensor in public areas.
Question 3.
The common forms of biometric technology are fingerprints, voice identification, face scans, eye scans, and DNA extraction. In order from the most to least secure, these types of identification go as
