Concerns about Biometric Punch Clocks
March 7th, 2009 | by admin |Identity theft is a problem in today’s world. This often leads to the question of the security of the information stored in biometric punch clocks. This concern has lead some employers to dismiss the advantages of these devices. The manufacturers of the biometric punch clock have addressed this concern. They have engineered these clocks so that it creates a template of 25 to 30 distinct points and matches them on a one to one basis to identify the person. This one to one matching is unlike what is done by police scanners that match on a one to many bases. The template created by the one to one matching cannot be reverse engineered to create a full fingerprint. The security issues of the biometric punch clock have been well thought out and concerns have been addressed.
