Your Body, Your I.D.? Due to the need of increased security, Comcast Cable (located in White Marsh, Maryland) will be putting in effect a new identification system. With the recent attack in New York, along with the abundance of fake passports and other types of identification, it would be much safer for the company to use biometric data for access purposes. “Your Body, Your I.D.?” (Consumer Reports, published August 2003) describes these biometric technologies. Biometric data will be used to ensure all data is unique among the employees. The different types to be considered are: iris scanning, fingerprint scanning, hand geometry, face recognition, and speech recognition. Although biometric identification will be safer for company, the correct method must be carefully selected, as they all have their pros and cons. The first type of biometric identification is iris scanning. This is the process of a scanner taking a digital picture of the patterns in your iris, and matching it to a stored picture that was previously taken. A single person’s iris is the most unique from everyone else’s, which is what makes this type the most accurate. There is not a threshold setting in this type of identification for making a match.
