Fundamental Concept of Biometric Systems

Due to the increasing security vulnerability of identifying persons, the biometric systems components, a security system (s) which comprises of hardware and software architectural designs was used as a secured authentication method. The biometric systems are the most secured authentication methods in our time and probably for the next generations. The architectural components of biometric systems are not a new invention he study used quantitative research methodology; a survey method was adapted. Both primary and secondary data of accessing architectural components that support biometric systems in Ghana was obtained. A sample of one hundred respondents was used for the study. The researcher employed the structured questionnaire in collecting data from some institutions and organizations that installed and operates biometric equipment (systems) in Ghana such as Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning, Ministry Foreign Affairs (Passport office), Ministry of Interior (Kotoka International Airport) and Electoral Commission (EC) of Ghana. The results of the study indicated that the biometric systems used architectural components to execute biometric data.
