Case Project 12-4: Biometric Analysis
Use the Internet and other sources to research the two disadvantages of standard biometrics: cost and error rates. Select one biometric technique (fingerprint, palm print, iris, facial features, etc.) and research the costs for having biometric readers for that technique located at two separate entrances into a building. Next, research ways in which attackers attempt to defeat this particular standard biometric technique. Finally, how often will this technique reject authorized users while accepting unauthorized users compared to other standard biometric techniques? Based on your research, would you recommend this technique? Why or why not? Write a one-page paper on your findings.
Case Project 12-5: Password Requirements
Visit the website Passwords Requirements Shaming (password-shaming.tumblr.com), which is a list of password requirements for different websites that are considered weak. Read through several of the submissions. Select three that you consider the most egregious. Why are they the worst? Next, indicate what you would suggest to make the requirement stronger, while maintaining a requirement that most users could meet. Write a one-paragraph summary.
