Considerations of privacy, invasiveness, and psychological and physical comfort when using the system are
important elements for which of the following?
A.
Accountability of biometrics systems
B.
Acceptability of biometrics systems
C.
Availability of biometrics systems
D.
Adaptability of biometrics systems
Explanation:
Acceptability in terms of biometric systems refers to considerations of privacy, invasiveness, and psychological
and physical comfort when using the system. For example, a concern with retina scanning systems may be the
exchange of body fluids on the eyepiece or the feeling that a retinal scan could be harmful to the eye. Another
concern would be the retinal pattern that could reveal changes in a person’s health, such as diabetes or high
blood pressure.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Considerations of privacy, invasiveness, and psychological and physical comfort when using the system are
not elements of accountability of biometrics systems.
C: Considerations of privacy, invasiveness, and psychological and physical comfort when using the system are
not elements of availability of biometrics systems.
D: Considerations of privacy, invasiveness, and psychological and physical comfort when using the system are
not elements of adaptability of biometrics systems.Krutz, Ronald L. and Russell Dean Vines, The CISSP and CAP Prep Guide: Mastering CISSP and CAP, Wiley
