Biometric Authorization

A cutting-edge security feature called biometric authentication enables Violetians to access their devices and applications using distinctive physical or behavioural features. Violet uses biometric technologies to give users a convenient and secure authentication that keeps their private information safe.

Introduction​

Passwords and PINs are two classic authentication mechanisms that have long been used to protect user accounts and devices. These techniques, however, have a number of shortcomings, such as a susceptibility to brute-force assaults and the requirement to remember complicated passwords.

By utilizing distinctive biometric characteristics that are nearly impossible to duplicate or fake, biometric authentication addresses these problems. Modern authentication systems frequently employ the following biometric traits.

  1. Fingerprint Recognition: identifying users by scanning and comparing their distinctive fingerprint patterns.
  2. Facial Recognition: analyzing facial traits and comparing them to a pre-registered face template for authentication.
  3. Iris or Retinal Scanning: Capturing specific patterns in the iris or retina to identify the user.

Enrollment Process​

Violetians can register their biometric characteristics with Violet during the registration procedure. For instance, they can record their voice, scan their fingerprint, or take a picture of their face. The device stores the biometric information securely and encrypts it to prevent unauthorized users from accessing it or altering it.

Authentication Process​

The biometric authentication procedure is started when an user tries to sign in to Violet or access a particular application. A prompt asks the user to enter their biometric characteristic, such as resting their finger on a fingerprint sensor or gazing into the front-facing camera for facial recognition.

The acquired biometric information is then compared to the previously saved biometric templates. Violet's algorithms carry out a quick and accurate comparison, guaranteeing a seamless authentication procedure. The user is given access if the acquired data matches any of the registered biometric templates within a set threshold of similarity. Otherwise, entry is prohibited.
