Biometric in ITS security

Terrorist attack in New York City and Washington, District of Columbia on morning of September 11, 2001 has changed our lives. The security problem became very important regarding all spheres of human actions. Tracking persons (employees, customers etc.) in ITS (Intelligent Transport System) is a very large problem. Biometrics offers a very good solution of this problem and is today maybe one of the most promising techniques for person's secure verification and authentication ; biometric system also possesses some advantages when compared to other security systems. When using a biometric system one has to be careful because the functionality of a biometric application can be dramatically aggravated if inappropriate biometric features are selected. Nominee classification of biometric features on contact and contactless, or distinction between “ strong” and “ soft” biometric features gives a framework for using biometric features, but it doesn’ t ensure that biometric features are implemented at a satisfactory level. The usage of multimodal or unimodal biometric system can significantly increase system security but it also opens plenty of questions like privacy etc. This paper describes biometric features which can be used in ITS, and delineates a new model of usage.
