ITPEC IP April 2023 — Question 43 of 100

Iris, fingerprint, and vein recognition are all biometric authentication methods, while a PIN is not. Biometrics use measurable physical or behavioral characteristics of a person. Iris patterns, fingerprint ridges, and vein patterns are inherent biological traits and are compared with enrolled templates.

Answer (c)

Why not others:
- I PIN is a knowledge factor: something the user knows

- II Iris, III Fingerprint, and IV Vein are biometric factors: something the user is

- (a) incorrectly includes the PIN; (b) omits vein recognition; (d) omits iris and fingerprint

Key rule: Passwords and PINs are knowledge factors, tokens are possession factors, and bodily or behavioral traits are biometric factors.
