paced growth in biometrics, and its easy availability to capture various
biometric features, it is emerging as one of the most
valuable technologies for multifactor authentication to verify a user’s
identity, for data security. Organizations
encourage their members to use biometrics, but they
are hesitant to use due to perceived security risks. Because of its low usage
rate, many medium and small segment organizations find it unfeasible to deploy
robust biometric systems. We propose a “server-specific add-on biometric security
layer model,” to enhance confidence in the usage of biometrics. We tested this
model via a biometric mobile app, and the survey showed a favorable response of
80%. The innovative mobile app was tested for its usability and got a score of
more than 71%. For test tool reliability, we examined the equal error rate
(EER) of the app and got a reasonably low score of 6%. The results show a good
potential of this framework to enhance users’ confidence-level in the usage of biometrics.
Higher usage rates may make deployment of biometrics more cost-effective for
many organizations to decrease their information
security risk.
