Biometric characteristics such as fingerprints, palmprints, iris, or face recognition have been used at organizations to identify an individual, grant access to physical or digital facilities, and to control employees' time and attendance. Nowadays, employers recognize the importance of workers' health. For this reason, wellness programs are gaining popularity among enterprises. As part of these programs, other biometric traits such as height, weight, blood samples are acquired at biometric screening events. Their main objective is to promote healthy habits within the workforce via early prevention and timely interventions of diseases. The present work goes beyond the biometric screenings' health benefits that are broadly reported and analyzes the implication of the screenings over occupational safety and health
For this purpose, a literature review was carried out. Literature research and analysis conveyed relevant information regarding the application of biometrics in the workplace via biometric screenings. The revision of pertinent scientific documents showed that biometric characteristics acquired in a biometric screening event and the subsequent results’ analysis can aid in the identification of unconventional hazards that can affect occupational safety and health. Furthermore, the present study describes different examples on how a biometric screening results can be associated with occupational hazards and consequently affect occupational safety and health.
This article describes what sort of biometric-based identification technologies can be used for e-commerce. The present methods, such as credit cards can be misused. The biometric-based identification can be more effective because it identifies the person and not a property (credit card) or a certain knowledge related to the person (password). The present biometric systems have different pros and cons for the purpose of e-commerce. The recommendations in this article are based on 10 years of resources and experiences.
A technológiai fejlődés és a biztonság iránti igény növekedésének következtében egyre több helyen találkozhatunk a biometrikus azonosítás különböző módjaival; jelen van az okostelefonokban, illetve számos vállalkozás is alkalmazza, felismerve annak előnyeit. Jelen tanulmány azt hivatott felmérni, hogy a felhasználók körében a biometrikus azonosításról milyen vélemények alakultak ki, illetve miként vélekednek ezekről a módszerekről. A kutatás jelentősége abban rejlik, hogy 2006-ban és 2014-ben az Óbudai Egyetem keretein belül már lezajlott két hasonló céllal megfogalmazott kutatás, amelyet a jelen kutatás során igyekeztünk folytatni, valamint továbbvinni. Az első rész a felmérés azon részét hivatott bemutatni, amely a megkérdezettek biometrikus azonosítási rendszerek ismertségével és használatával foglalkozik. Az eredmények alapján elmondható, hogy a biometrikus azonosítás kapcsán a felhasználók ismeretei bővítésre szorulnak, mivel még mindig sokan csak használják ezeket a technológiákat a hozzá tartozó tudásanyag és tudatosság nélkül.
