While biometric authentication systems offer convenience and security, they also pose several potential risks that need to be considered:
If biometric data is compromised, it cannot be changed like passwords, leading to permanent security risks. Protecting biometric databases is critical.
Biometric systems collect sensitive personal information, raising privacy issues related to data storage, consent, and potential misuse.
Attackers may use sophisticated techniques to create fake biometric samples, such as fingerprint molds or facial recognition masks, to bypass authentication systems.
Biometric systems may have accuracy issues and inherent biases that can lead to false positives or negatives, impacting user experience and security.
