Lesson 2.2 Data Entry

This document discusses various direct data entry devices, including magnetic stripe readers, chip and PIN readers, RFID readers, OCR and OMR, and bar code readers. Magnetic stripe readers are simple and inexpensive but have limited storage. Chip and PIN readers provide more security but require a PIN. RFID readers can identify tags from a distance of meters but lack authentication. OCR reads text from documents while OMR reads marked locations on documents to automatically grade tests. Each technology has advantages like speed but also security risks or data limitations.

human intervention

Direct Data Often used when large amounts of


Entry similar data needs to be entered.

Commercial or business
applications

• Inexpensive • Data can be easily destroyed
• Fast • Insecure
• No errors • Card can only be read with
• Data can be altered reader.

9/3/20XX Presentation Title 5


Chip and PIN Readers
• Cards have chips which are more
secure

• Data on chips is encrypted

• Can also store transactional data

9/3/20XX Presentation Title 6


9/3/20XX Presentation Title 7
PIN

Personal Identification Number

4 digit code the user must know to use the card.

When the user types the code, it is matched to the code written on the chip in
the card. If it matches, then the payment goes through

Advantages and Disadvantages
• More secure than magnetic stripe • Shouldering or Shoulder surfing.

• Can hold more information than • PIN can be forgotten


magnetic stripe

• Readers can be wireless

9/3/20XX Presentation Title 9


RFID Readers
• Radio frequency identification.

• Readers read data stored on RFID


tags.

Optical Character
Recognition
• OCR compares the shape of each
character with the shapes it knows

• If it matches, the computer stores the


letter.

copy documents much quicker than
typing them
