Enhancing Security in Electronic Transactions: The Future of Biometric Authentication

The video discusses the evolution of ATMs and the rise of biometric authentication, focusing on fingerprint security. Avtar Verdi's work on enhancing fingerprint scanners by using multiple fingerprints in sequence is highlighted. A shopping cart scenario illustrates how this system works, emphasizing the importance of correct fingerprint sequences for secure payments. The video concludes with a reflection on the potential of fingerprint payment systems.

What is a major concern about biometric transactional authentication?

• It requires too much time to process.

• It may not be secure enough.

• It is not user-friendly.

• It is too expensive to implement.

What innovation did Avtar Verdi introduce to improve fingerprint scanner security?

• Adding a password requirement.

• Implementing facial recognition.

• Using a single fingerprint for authentication.

• Using multiple fingerprints in a sequence.

Why is using a single fingerprint for authentication considered insecure?

• It can be easily cloned and duplicated.

• It requires expensive equipment.

• It is difficult to scan accurately.

• It takes too long to process.

In the practical scenario, what happens if the fingerprint sequence is incorrect?

• The payment is processed anyway.

• The system locks the user out.

• The system provides feedback immediately.

• The system asks to re-enter the sequence.

What is the main advantage of using fingerprint sequences for payment?

• It allows for larger transaction limits.

• It enhances security by requiring a specific sequence.

• It is faster than using a credit card.

• It eliminates the need for carrying cash.
