Vote Bank Strategy – 11

Continues from previous post –

All discussion on usefulness of biometrics is based on certain presumptions taken for granted, and if any one of that fails, this method becomes a hurdle in life of an individual. I say this because this method depends on many intermediate types of equipment. Let me show the line of steps involved in the process of identifying the individual. To first take the data and then eventually process it on the computer at that place, and then send it to the server, provided internet facility is available. Then further process to compare at the computer software, then the data returned to the end from where the test is performed; most time the data is send through an internet web system. Failure of any one of these very high-tech system will refuse to identify the person as that. This will create untold problems for the person concerned. This is the reason why such a high-tech system should not be applied in under developed countries such as India. To compare this so called super specialty method with conventional photo identity, we see that in photo method no involvement of any intermediate steps. This makes the system foolproof and safe for individuals. Moreover, we notice that in many cases finger-vein design may change due to diseases such as skin diseases. Accidents, other causes can deform that design. We also notice that iris design also changes as person becomes older, also due to severe eye disease. Moreover, we do not have any conclusive evidence to say that no two persons have same iris and fingerprints. The algorithm used is not necessarily reliable. We are made to believe that all these so-called scientific methods are foolproof. However, there is no definite proof to accept that claim. Everything is based on many unproven presumptions based on algorithm. Therefore, first let us prove these presumptions and then accept it or not. I firmly believe this method is being promoted for the business involved in selling fingerprints and iris. In many countries, this method is used to detect foreigners and countries such as USA are storing biometric information of people all over the world that includes India, to compare it.
