Secure Space Access
Summary
FRT is being used for secure space access in corporate buildings by linking a camera image of an individual's facial features to employee or visitor credentials. When an individual approaches a secure space or device, such as a restricted area or a network computer, a facial recognition system camera scans their face and compares it to stored images in the system's database. If the individual's facial features match those stored in the system, they are granted access to the secure space or system. This technology can also be used to track the movement of individuals within the building.
Concerns
One of the main concerns is privacy. The technology requires individuals to provide their facial images, which are then stored in a database and used for identification. This raises concerns about data security and potential misuse of personal information. Another concern is the potential for bias and inaccuracies in the technology. Studies have shown that facial recognition systems can be less accurate for certain groups of people, such as people of color, women, and older individuals. This can result in false rejections and false acceptances, which can lead to security breaches and other problems. Moreover, the use of facial recognition technology in public spaces can lead to a sense of surveillance and loss of privacy, also it may be seen as an infringement of civil rights and civil liberties.
- This type of face recognition can be spoofed with a photo, if the anti-spoofing 3D check is not implemented.
