00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:07.240
I got to admit whenever I hear biometric scanners it's hard for me to not

00:00:04.480 --> 00:00:11.400
instantly start Conjuring up images of a secret agent breaking into a fortified

00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:15.320
Facility by like plucking some dude's eye out of his skull and using it to

00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:19.840
bypass the scanner or some vault door or something but the fact of the matter is

00:00:17.480 --> 00:00:25.160
that both the definition and application of this technology tend to fall more

00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:27.599
into the Everyday Use category

00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:32.119
Biometrics is defined roughly as the analysis of biological data using

00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:36.239
statistical methods also including the use of digital scanners which utilize

00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:40.559
physiological traits as a way of personal identification while that may

00:00:38.399 --> 00:00:44.680
sound like a really technical boring definition the most commonplace one runs

00:00:42.640 --> 00:00:49.920
into such futuristic Concepts in Hardware is something very technical and

00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:52.039
boring a hospital in fact thanks in

00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:56.239
large part to the original Star Trek series which spurred their invention

00:00:54.239 --> 00:01:01.600
heads up biometric displays have been in operation at hospitals for decades now

00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:06.320
there nurses and doctors work to analyze changing factors such as your heart rate

00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:09.680
blood pressure and fluid levels to determine whether you've come down with

00:01:07.720 --> 00:01:14.240
the Ebola or you're just faking it to get away from your obnoxious boss

00:01:11.960 --> 00:01:18.479
biometric security scanners on the other hand work by analyzing physiological

00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:23.360
characteristics that are unlikely to change over time such as fingerprints

00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:28.320
retinas or voice patterns voice patterns voice patterns to verify the identity of

00:01:26.320 --> 00:01:32.079
an individual for businesses and governmental agencies the use of the

00:01:29.960 --> 00:01:35.680
these devices is becoming more and more common with each passing day with

00:01:33.880 --> 00:01:39.799
important facilities from private engineering firms to airports and

00:01:37.479 --> 00:01:44.479
military bases starting to implement them in ways that not only help to

00:01:41.520 --> 00:01:49.360
ensure secured access but also help to Monitor and verify that important

00:01:46.680 --> 00:01:53.159
documents such as shipping manifestos or top secret weapons plans have been

00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:57.600
handled and delivered accordingly changing gears to the personal side of

00:01:55.240 --> 00:02:01.159
the spectrum offerings have just started emerging that are putting this

00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:04.000
technology to great great use many of our viewers out there who are lucky

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

00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:13.840
with its fingerprint scanner can actually speak directly to the benefits

00:02:10.679 --> 00:02:15.760
of this amazing future technology not

00:02:13.840 --> 00:02:20.000
only do they gain increased Security on their personal devices but there's a

00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:23.800
certain ease of access that comes along with this implementation as well as one

00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:27.760
merely needs to press their finger on the appropriate place to quickly unlock

00:02:25.760 --> 00:02:30.640
their phone also with the iPhone's offering you get the ability to make

00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:34.560
purchases with the swipe of a finger what helps by eliminating the need for

00:02:32.440 --> 00:02:39.760
them to hand personal information to retailers every time they make a

00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:41.360
purchase convenient and secure but of

00:02:39.760 --> 00:02:45.800
course those of you lucky enough to own one of these devices is probably also

00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:49.319
aware of the many reports that claim that hackers have been able to defeat

00:02:47.440 --> 00:02:54.040
these security measures in certain instances and while the chances of that

00:02:51.440 --> 00:02:59.319
happening to a an average Joe individual are probably actually less likely than

00:02:56.319 --> 00:03:02.879
your standard type of you know 1 2 3 4

00:02:59.319 --> 00:03:05.319
or six 969 type of hack it goes without

00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:10.040
saying that this is one of the pitfalls of automated design while a standard

00:03:07.799 --> 00:03:14.640
Locker analog device such as a vault dial might not be able to distinguish

00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:19.120
between users that are allowed access or not allowed access it also actually

00:03:16.720 --> 00:03:23.879
gains some of its strength from this lack of features as the owner can easily

00:03:21.760 --> 00:03:28.080
prevent unwanted access by making sure that the key or the combination to

00:03:25.720 --> 00:03:32.159
either of them is never misplaced whereas if someone defeats a biometric

00:03:30.040 --> 00:03:36.680
scanner they are ostensibly considered to be You by whatever program they've

00:03:35.080 --> 00:03:41.000
accessed possibly preventing the realization that there has ever been any

00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:44.959
intrusion at all and none of this even mentions the sorts of ordinary hurdles

00:03:43.480 --> 00:03:48.360
that need to be ironed out with any of these emerging Technologies like

00:03:46.760 --> 00:03:52.000
creating an eye scanner that doesn't slowly burn your retinas out over time

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

00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:59.079
plucked out by a secret agent in that scenario great job speaking of plucking

00:03:57.560 --> 00:04:03.799
