Comprehensive Exam Question 2

Discuss biometric security measures with examples. What are the advantage and disadvantages of these security measures?

The biometric security measures use a physiological element to enhance security measures. These elements are unique to a person and can't be stolen, lost, copied, or passed on to others. For example, we have a biometric hand reader at the company that I work for that recognizes an employees punch in or out by their handprint. An advantage of these biometric security measures is that it's based on an individual's uniqueness like fingerprints which prevents impersonation. The disadvantages are high costs, users' being reluntant to using it, and complex installation.
