An accurate picture of the use and acceptance of biometrics is:

A.
Relatively inexpensive, well received by society, and highly accurate

B.
Very expensive, moderately received by society, and moderately accurate

C.
Very expensive, very well received by society, and highly accurate

D.
Very expensive, not well received by society, and highly accurate

Explanation:
Biometrics verifies an individual’s identity by analyzing a unique personalattribute or behavior, which is one of the most effective and accurate methods ofverifying identification. Biometrics is a very sophisticated technology; thus, it ismuch more expensive and complex than the other types of identity verificationprocesses. A biometric system can make authentication decisions based on anindividual’s behavior, as in signature dynamics, but these can change over time andPage 33cess trol-P1.txtpossibly be forged. Biometric systems that base authentication decisions on physicalattributes (such as iris, retina, or fingerprint) provide more accuracy, becausephysical attributes typically don’t change, absent some disfiguring injury, and areharder to impersonate.
