Comparison of types of biometric devices

Abstract

This paper applies the method of selecting the single preferred system option based on expert judgement for some biometric authentication devices. To qualitatively analyse biometric access control devices, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of the systems and apply certain methods to analyse and select the best option. Hence, it is necessary to carry out a comparative analysis of biometric authentication devices by considering a set of quality indicators. This paper provides a comparison of certain biometric access control and management devices based on a set of quality indicators. In order to perform an in-depth analysis of biometric access control systems, it is necessary to take into account their features and apply specialised evaluation methods to select the best option. Therefore, it is necessary to perform a comparative analysis of biometric authentication systems by considering multiple quality indicators. This study presents a comparison of various biometric devices for access control and management on various quality criteria namely security, accuracy, speed, physical contact, cost, prevalence, application by organisations. The paper provides a comparison and using hierarchy analysis method and selecting the desired variant of known biometric identification devices on the basis of performance analysis of fingerprint scanners, palm print scanners, hand geometry scanners, facial recognition terminals, iris scanners, palm vein scanners. The article provides a comparison of and with the application of the method of expert judgement. Expert evaluation methods are methods of organising work with specialists - experts and processing expert opinions expressed in quantitative and/or qualitative form in order to prepare information for decision-making by decision-makers. Expertise is usually understood as the assessment of certain characteristics (quality indicators) by a group of experts in order to prepare the adoption of optimal design decisions. After the processing of certain data, the desired preferred biometric identification device is determined. The use of biometrics will improve the reliability and accuracy of the authentication and object identification process when accessing a system serving a large number of users. This is particularly important for mission critical systems within physical access control and management.
