Sending biometric data over the network
Once the decision is made to provide a networked biometric solution, the information technology team must begin the process of planning the implementation. To ensure a successful transition, the team must think through the process, and carefully consider all aspects of the network.
Each business is different. The goal is to meet the needs of the organization. Therefore, while planning the integration, it’s important to have a clear idea of the objective of the biometric system.
Some of the questions to address are as follows:
- What is the goal of the system; identification and/or authentication?
- Where will the biometric capture device(s) be located?
- What are some of the security threats?
- How many concurrent users will access the system during an average day, and how many can be expected during peak usage times?
- Will the system need to be integrated into an existing or legacy system?
- Will there be a secondary...
