Comparativa de las principales técnicas biométricas para disminuir las vulnerabilidades a la confidencialidad en dispositivos móviles.

Abstract

This research carried out a comparative analysis of the main biometric techniques to reduce vulnerabilities to confidentiality in mobile devices, a systematic and continuous process was applied to compare or evaluate products, services and processes to find the differences and in this way choose the best one option. A usability form was used, handling the evaluation criteria of biometric systems: effectiveness, safety and efficacy. The results were that 72% of mobile device users prefer to use biometric security techniques and 28% use conventional systems to protect their information, which can be compromised by different threats and could jeopardize its integrity. With the results obtained based on the parameters presented and with the fingerprint as the most accepted biometric technique for accessing mobile devices, three comparative scenarios were presented, the level of exposure is high in user information data and sensitive data when using traditional security systems, because these systems are easy to detect. When there are threats and security flaws, the data on the mobile device is totally exposed. According to the results obtained in the safe scenario with the application of biometric security techniques, the decrease in the information exposed with respect to the vulnerable scenario without the application of these technologies is noticeable. It is concluded that of all the biometric techniques the safest is that of the iris of the eyes, but the technique most accepted by users is that of the fingerprint.
