Biometric Security

This document outlines a course on Biometric Security for a Master of Technology in Cyber Security program. The course aims to provide students with an understanding of biometrics, biometric equipment, and standards applied to security. Over five units, students will learn about various biometric technologies including fingerprints, facial scans, iris scans, hand scans, and behavioral biometrics. They will also cover multi-biometric systems, accuracy in biometric systems, and implementation issues. The course objectives are to demonstrate knowledge of biometric principles, understand and analyze biometric components, work effectively in teams, and identify sociological issues with biometric design and use.
