00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:07,240
I got to admit whenever I hear biometric scanners it's hard for me to not

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:11,400
instantly start Conjuring up images of a secret agent breaking into a fortified

3
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:15,320
Facility by like plucking some dude's eye out of his skull and using it to

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:19,840
bypass the scanner or some vault door or something but the fact of the matter is

5
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:25,160
that both the definition and application of this technology tend to fall more

6
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:27,599
into the Everyday Use category

7
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:32,119
Biometrics is defined roughly as the analysis of biological data using

8
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:36,239
statistical methods also including the use of digital scanners which utilize

9
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:40,559
physiological traits as a way of personal identification while that may

10
00:00:38,399 --> 00:00:44,680
sound like a really technical boring definition the most commonplace one runs

11
00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:49,920
into such futuristic Concepts in Hardware is something very technical and

12
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:52,039
boring a hospital in fact thanks in

13
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:56,239
large part to the original Star Trek series which spurred their invention

14
00:00:54,239 --> 00:01:01,600
heads up biometric displays have been in operation at hospitals for decades now

15
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:06,320
there nurses and doctors work to analyze changing factors such as your heart rate

16
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:09,680
blood pressure and fluid levels to determine whether you've come down with

17
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:14,240
the Ebola or you're just faking it to get away from your obnoxious boss

18
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:18,479
biometric security scanners on the other hand work by analyzing physiological

19
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:23,360
characteristics that are unlikely to change over time such as fingerprints

20
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:28,320
retinas or voice patterns voice patterns voice patterns to verify the identity of

21
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:32,079
an individual for businesses and governmental agencies the use of the

22
00:01:29,960 --> 00:01:35,680
these devices is becoming more and more common with each passing day with

23
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:39,799
important facilities from private engineering firms to airports and

24
00:01:37,479 --> 00:01:44,479
military bases starting to implement them in ways that not only help to

25
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:49,360
ensure secured access but also help to Monitor and verify that important

26
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:53,159
documents such as shipping manifestos or top secret weapons plans have been

27
00:01:51,079 --> 00:01:57,600
handled and delivered accordingly changing gears to the personal side of

28
00:01:55,240 --> 00:02:01,159
the spectrum offerings have just started emerging that are putting this

29
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:04,000
technology to great great use many of our viewers out there who are lucky

30
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:08,840
enough to have their hands on either an iPhone 6 with Touch ID or a Galaxy S5

31
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:13,840
with its fingerprint scanner can actually speak directly to the benefits

32
00:02:10,679 --> 00:02:15,760
of this amazing future technology not

33
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:20,000
only do they gain increased Security on their personal devices but there's a

34
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:23,800
certain ease of access that comes along with this implementation as well as one

35
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:27,760
merely needs to press their finger on the appropriate place to quickly unlock

36
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:30,640
their phone also with the iPhone's offering you get the ability to make

37
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:34,560
purchases with the swipe of a finger what helps by eliminating the need for

38
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:39,760
them to hand personal information to retailers every time they make a

39
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:41,360
purchase convenient and secure but of

40
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:45,800
course those of you lucky enough to own one of these devices is probably also

41
00:02:43,319 --> 00:02:49,319
aware of the many reports that claim that hackers have been able to defeat

42
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:54,040
these security measures in certain instances and while the chances of that

43
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:59,319
happening to a an average Joe individual are probably actually less likely than

44
00:02:56,319 --> 00:03:02,879
your standard type of you know 1 2 3 4

45
00:02:59,319 --> 00:03:05,319
or six 969 type of hack it goes without

46
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:10,040
saying that this is one of the pitfalls of automated design while a standard

47
00:03:07,799 --> 00:03:14,640
Locker analog device such as a vault dial might not be able to distinguish

48
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:19,120
between users that are allowed access or not allowed access it also actually

49
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:23,879
gains some of its strength from this lack of features as the owner can easily

50
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:28,080
prevent unwanted access by making sure that the key or the combination to

51
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:32,159
either of them is never misplaced whereas if someone defeats a biometric

52
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:36,680
scanner they are ostensibly considered to be You by whatever program they've

53
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:41,000
accessed possibly preventing the realization that there has ever been any

54
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:44,959
intrusion at all and none of this even mentions the sorts of ordinary hurdles

55
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:48,360
that need to be ironed out with any of these emerging Technologies like

56
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:52,000
creating an eye scanner that doesn't slowly burn your retinas out over time

57
00:03:50,239 --> 00:03:55,360
although on the bright side I guess it wouldn't matter then if you had your eye

58
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:59,079
plucked out by a secret agent in that scenario great job speaking of plucking
