Introduction:
We are a group of NUS undergraduates conducting a survey on biometric systems.
|
| |
|
|
Section 1: (to understand the general publics level of knowledge)
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| 1.Biometrics is 100% accurate. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. Twins have identical biometric features (fingerprints, iris, etc.) |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. Biometrics is slower than conventional security. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. No two persons can have the same fingerprints. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| 5. Biometrics works for everyone. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| 6. Biometrics has already been adopted in some places in Singapore. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| 7. There are inherent flaws in biometrics that cannot be rectified. |

Please read the following paragraph before continuing with the survey. Do not amend any of your previous answer. Thank you.
Biometrics systems are automated methods of identifying a person based on a physiological or behavioral characteristic.
Common examples:
1 fingerprint scan
2 palm scan
3 iris scan
4 facial features scan
5 keystroke dynamics
6 speech recognition
There is an increasing trend in the adoption of biometrics security systems in Singapore in everyday lives.
Biometrics systems have been proven to be very efficient, phasing out the conventional usage of keys and smart cards. Yet contrary to popular belief that it is the prefect security system, several weaknesses have identified. It is in fact possible to forge and create a "fake finger" that will be accepted by some fingerprint scans and biometric scans is also not for everyone, ie. the blind are unable to perform iris scans. Perhaps the most crippling aspect of this system is that a persons biometrics cannot be regenerated, thus, should someone successfully forges your biometric feature, he would gain full access to practically every system that is secured by it.

Section 3: Problems / Solutions
Security issues
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| 1. State your level of willingness to accept a biometric security system in your home as an alternative to conventional security measures (e.g. locks and keys)? |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
2. What factors would increase your willingness to adopt such a system? Rank in order of level of willingness(4 - most important factor and 1 - least important factor)
|
| |
| Cost |
| | | Convenience |
| | | Security |
| | | Privacy |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. With a biometric system in place, what additional measure would you be willing to accept to further enhance security? Choose only one. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. State your willingness to sacrifice convenience over security? |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 1. Are you concerned about being constantly tracked by the government? i.e. Big brother kind of situation |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. Are you concerned about your identity being stolen? i.e. Identity thefts, criminals stealing your personal information and going on shopping sprees. |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. How much do you value your biometric data? |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| 4. Who should hold your biometric security data? |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
Health and personal issues
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| * 1. Which biometric system would you be most comfortable with? (6 - most comfortable and 1 - least comfortable) |
| |
| Fingerprint scan |
| | | Palm scan |
| | | Iris scan |
| | | Keystroke dynamics |
| | | Facial features |
| | | Speech recognition |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
| 2. Do you have any health concerns? ( You may select more than one answer) |
| |
|
|
|
|
|
|
| 3. Do you have fears that the system could possibly reject your biometric reading and deny you access? |
