Traditional Systems

• Traditional security and access devices still
  depend heavily on what we have (keys, cards)
  and what we know (personal identification
  numbers, or PIN).
• Chances to loss and abuse.

Biometrics

• Biometrics relies on what we are.
• The first fingerprint biometrics system was
  introduced about 30 years ago
• Security-sensitive organizations are among the
  early adopters.
• In the biometrics market, hand geometry and
  fingerprint scans are the most commonly deployed
  solutions.
• Iris identification technology
• Digital and sonar fingerprints
• Hand geometry
• Retina eye patterns
• Digital facial recognition
• Voice recognition
• Database technologies

Biometrics used by Governments

• e-Passports
• An e-Passport has this international symbol on
  the cover.
• An e-Passport contains an electronic chip.
• The chip holds the same information that is
  printed on the passport's data page the holder's
  name, date of birth, and other biographic
  information.

Customs

• The Government of the Hong Kong Special
  Administrative Region has been issuing smart
  identity (ID) cards to replace the old ID cards.
• Each smart ID card is with a computer chip
• Immigration Applications

• Future Security in airports
• Millimeter Wave device
• CCTV cameras

Home Security Systems

• Home Burglar Alarms
• Home Fire Alarms
• Home Carbon Monoxide Alarms
• Notifications for non-alarm events

Home Security Systems

• Motion Detectors
• CCTV surveillance
• Electronic Pet Doors
• Biometrics

14
Businesses Security

• Businesses have to protect themselves from many
  threats ranging from viruses, worms, and
  hardening the perimeter from external attacks.
• Trend for Businesses to adopt IP integration of
  all security systems.
• Effect of Breaches in security on businesses.
• Systems most widely used in Business industry
• (CCTV) Closed Circuit Television
• Facial Recognition
• IP integration
• Behavioral Recognition
• Access controls, Biometrics
• (RFID) Radio Frequency Identification
• Smart Cards

15
Surveillance

• CCTV use of video cameras that transmit their
  signal to a limited set of monitors.
• CCTV Traditional use.
• Comparison to Analog
• Analog video uses tapes that have to be swapped
  at regular time intervals.
• Limits video quality and replay analysis, and
  requires more labor to maintain the system.
• IP Integration
• Network video surveillance 30 of security
  professionals now use IP-based cameras and an
  additional 45 plan to purchase IP-based cameras
• Allows for automated reactions and more efficient
  security operation.
• Can tag video with information from other
  security systems.

16
Facial Recognition Software

• How it works
• The software calculates hundreds of different
  measurements of the face.
• Results of calculations is a mapped face which
  then can be compared to other faces in a
  database.
• Identifies the probable matches along with
  physical characteristics, aliases among other
  information
• Facial Recognition Software
• Helps government agencies and casinos sort
  through a wide assortment of possible security
  threats.
• Companies and agencies using this technology are
  the US Department of Defense, Airports around the
  world, and more than 100 casinos like MGM Mirage,
  The Stratosphere and Trumps hotel and casino

17
Casino Security systems

• Modern day security is divided between the
  physical security composed of people that patrol
  the floor and a surveillance department known as
  the eye in the sky.
• Electronic security in casinos Video Systems,
  RFID, IP integration, CCTV surveillance, Vaults,
  door way detectors
• Threats to casinos counterfeit money, counterfeit
  chips, employee theft etc..
• One of the largest threats is having the
  electronic security system compromised by
  hackers, viruses or employees.
• Example Wynn Casino utilizes a fully integrated
  video surveillance and security system.

18
Casino Security

• Impact of IP integrated security system and
  Facial recognition
• As an example, the Stratosphere after integration
  of security systems cut their losses by 90
  percent.
• In addition also reduce labor cost

19
Bank Security system

• Traditionally Banks used to rely on safes, vaults
  and security guards to secure their customers
  money.
• The banking industry physical security system is
  core to operations.
• Utilize CCTV with facial recognition
• IP security system for access controls, alarms,
  video surveillance
• Threats in the banking industry
• Robbery reported that in 2004 that 7556
  robberies occurred to institutions like
  commercial banks, credit unions, mutual savings
  and armored carrier companies.
• Fraud in 2006 more than 8.4 million Americans
  became the victim of fraud amounting to 49.3
  Billion.
• Most identity theft or fraud results from the
  loss of a purse or wallet, but as the internet
  continues to evolve other methods of obtaining
  customer information and intellectual property
  emerged.
• Phishing
• Man in the middle
• Spyware/Trojan horse
• Many hacker attacks are originating from Eastern
  Europe, Russia, and China which makes it
  difficult to prosecute the hackers that are
  caught.

20
Online Banking Security

• Conventionally Banks use a PIN or a TAN
  (Transaction authentication number.)
• To help combat this problem a new TAN system was
  developed called iTan. In this system TAN numbers
  are indexed and attach the index number to the
  specific transaction to be made.
• Further Security is needed for online banking.
• Cryptographic calculator
• Software certificate
• SSL/Web browser

21
Biometrics used in banks
22
Fingerprint in Banking

• Biometrics used Fingerprints, signature, vein
  pattern, hand geometry, voice recognition, facial
  recognition
• Fingerprint is the most commonly used Biometric
  in the banking industry
• It is used in almost all areas of the banking
  industry
• Transaction security
• Network security
• Access controls
• Background checks
• Trend in banks to enable their clients to
  authenticate themselves before making
  transactions through fingerprint authentication.
• Fingerprint authentication will be used in the
  banks for employees before they access the
  system, at ATMs, the Kiosk and online.
• The transition to biometric authentication leads
  to increased security for both the companys and
  the customer, convenience, reduce required man
  power.

23
Security Industry

• At the end of 2005 the security industry created
  revenues over 150 billion.
• The Security Industry is expected to have about
  an 12 in 2008 and maintain 9 percent growth
  through 2010
• Biometrics has experienced an annual increase of
  40.2 since 2004
• System integration sector has been growing at an
  annual rate of 15
• CCTV is expected to grow at an annual rate of 15
  is driven by internet, networking, biometrics and
  integration of all security systems.
• Growth of convergence of IT with physical
  security driven by digital technology seen in
  access controls, biometrics, RFID, Smart Cards,
  ID management and video surveillance.
• Major identity breaches and confidential data
  loss continue to fuel the need for identity
  management and protection.

Impact of Security

• The increasing need for security has caused a
  dramatic increase in the value of information as
  an asset.
• With technology constantly changing and new
  business infrastructures emerging there are new
  vulnerabilities being exposed.
• Creation of a white list.
• Rising issues of public privacy vs. public
  surveillance
• Future of security.
