This paper will research the implications that biometrics have on cybersecurity. The paper will introduce topics such as what biometrics are, the recent advancements in it, and how biometric data is stored. The paper will then proceed to discuss privacy implications of biometric authentication, how it is implemented at an organizational level, its cost, and the performance impacts of using it. Subsequently, the paper will delve into what models and systems are currently used for biometric authentication and the risks posed by using it. The risks posed in paragraphs prior will be addressed in their own section, and the advantages will be presented to be weighed against the risks. The paper will also include discussions on how biometric data can be stored securely and processed using technology like cancellable biometrics. The paper will present the findings, and recap arguments brought forward throughout the paper.
