Question

Which is not an example of biometric data?

Options

  • AFingerprint identifiers
  • BKeystroke dynamics identifiers
  • CCredit history identifiers
  • DRetinal identifiers

Explanation

Credit history identifiers are not an example of biometrics. In fact, biometrics refers to unique, measurable characteristics of an individual that can be used for automatic recognition, such as fingerprints, retinal patterns, and keystroke dynamics (see the ISC2 Study Guide, Chapter 3, Module 2). For example, an organization may use fingerprint scanners to control access to secure areas. When an employee places his or her finger on the scanner, the system compares the scanned fingerprint with the stored fingerprint data for that employee. If the fingerprints match, the system grants access. Credit history identifiers, on the other hand, are not unique, measurable characteristics of a person. They are records of a person's past borrowing and repayment behavior, including information about late payments and bankruptcies. While they can be used to assess a person's creditworthiness, they are not used for automated recognition or access control. The other options--fingerprint identifiers, retina identifiers, and keystroke dynamics identifiers-- are all examples of biometrics.
