What is the difference between using biometrics to ensure that only certain employees enter a bank vault and using biometrics to identity a terrorist in a crowd? Which application is more reliable and why? Assume that we're using facial recognition in both situations.
According to Schneir, how is it that a biometric system will generate 1000 false alarms for every one terrorist identified?
The EFF has concerns about one of the components of a biometrics system, which is also a component of the National ID System. (Read the EFF article down to where it talks about the "types of biometrics". You don't have to read about the types of biometrics.) Name the component and provide details as to why the EFF sees it as a potential problem.
