Introduction
In recent years, the use of biometric data for identification and authentication purposes has become increasingly prevalent in various sectors such as healthcare, finance, and law enforcement. Biometric data, which includes unique physical characteristics such as fingerprints, iris patterns, and facial features, offers a more secure and convenient method of verifying individual identity compared to traditional passwords or PINs. However, concerns about the privacy and security of biometric data have also risen with the widespread adoption of this technology.
The effectiveness of information technology (IT) in safeguarding the privacy of biometric data is a critical area of research that requires further investigation. This thesis aims to explore the various IT solutions and strategies that can be implemented to enhance the privacy and security of biometric data. By examining the current state of biometric data privacy, identifying potential threats and vulnerabilities, and analyzing existing IT mechanisms, this study seeks to provide valuable insights and recommendations for improving data protection in biometric systems.
