What is biometric authentication methods?
Biometric authentication - is using something like a fingerprint scanner to verify a persons identity. These devices are used in high-security areas such as a power stations control room, so that only those people who are authorised to work there actually get into the building.
What is true about biometrics as an authentication method?
computer scientists are always trying to improve biometric authentication methods
What is the technology which is used to measure and analyze human body characteristics for authentication purposes?
biometric
Does the use of a biometric device does not eliminate security and privacy?
The influence of biometric devices on either security or privacy will depend upon how they are used. Like any other device, biometric devices can be used appropriately or inappropriately. Does the use of a knife make you bleed to death? But then, maybe you will just chop vegetables.
What is a type of attack where an intruder is able to forge a biometric sample?
Methods used to successfully forge biometric input have included using a jelly copy of a finger with the fingerprint embedded on it and using a photograph of an individual in place of their face for a facial scan. The better biometric devices will incorporate methods to prevent these types of methods from succeeding, but both these two methods and others have been demonstrated as still working on some biometric authentication devices still on the market. There is also the potential problem of "splicing". Some formats for smart cards sign each piece of information separately, so an attacker can steal the legitimate signed identity of another user and splice it into his own biometric information. To combat this, better smart cards sign the entire set of data including both the user identity and their biometric information.
Which two devices are considered input devices?
biometric authentication device digital camera

What are some Technical terms for a biometric device?
Biometric devices measure (metric) features of living things (bio). To be useful in security (such as authentication and identification), biometric devices measure features of living things that are unique for any individual, such as the Fingerprint Readers now available on most laptops. Other biometric devices include Voice Print Analyzers, Facial Recognition Scanners, and eye (retina or iris) scanners.

Is a biometric device a input or output device?
Most biometric devices would be input devices although they may also utilize storage devices and output devices in their functioning. A biometric device usually takes in biometric information about a person and compares it to information stored in a database - much like username/password methods of authentication compare the username and password to the stored information for a user. Fingerprint scanners, read the fingerprint, convert it to a data stream and then compare it to the stored data previously recorded for the individual, retinal scanners read information about the retinal patterns of a user, convert it to data and compare it to stored data, etc. Note that biometric devices must rely on a storage device, but usually the storage device is not part of the biometric device. Instances of OUTPUT associated with a biometric device might be a signal to open a door or trigger an alarm, but again, the output usually comes from another device that the biometric device is connected to.
What is the technology which is used to measure and analyze human body characteristics for authentication purposes?
biometric
What are Biometric devices used for?
A fingerprinting scan is a very common biometric device. There are also iris matching scanners for high tech security. @Nottingham YE$
Where can you purchase biometric security?
Biometric security devices can be purchased from several different companies. Some companies that manufacture biometric security devices are Quick Access, Sentry Safe, Viking, Lock Safe, and Gun Vault.
Which behavioral biometric authentication model should a technician deploy in a secure data center and why?
voice recognition
