    Q1 A particular biometric authentication system is being tested.

    The test set-up involves both


    genuine users and impostors and a summary of the decisions made by the system is
    shown below. Calculate the False Acceptance Rate (FAR) and False Rejection Rate
    (FRR) of this system (in %).

     Number of genuines accepted – 2847


     Number of impostors accepted – 258
     Number of genuines rejected – 153
     Number of impostors rejected – 34742

    Q2

    (a)
    EERA ≈ 4.3%
    EERB ≈ 4.0%

    (b)
    EER line FRRA ≈ 6.1%
    FRRB ≈ 5.2%
    FRR (in %)

    (c)
    Both systems
    can be used;
    however, Sys. A
    gives very
    limited choice of
    thresholds
    whereas Sys. B
    offers lower FRR
    as well as more
    B flexibility. So,
    A Sys. B should be
    preferred.

    Q3 The iriscodes extracted from two iris images (A and B) are given below.

    Iriscode A = 01 00 01 11 01 10 10 01 00 10
    Iriscode B = 10 00 10 11 11 10 10 00 10 10

    Calculate the Hamming Distance between these two iris codes.

    Q4
    Q5 Table 2 shows the outcome of an evaluation of a biometric verification system with respect to three
    users: Adam (A), Bill (B) and Charles (C). Ten samples from each user (labelled A, B and C
    respectively) have been tested where everyone claimed to be Adam (A). In each case, Table 2
    records the system’s decision as either “Accept” or “Reject”.

    (a) Determine the False Reject Rate (FRR) and the False Acceptance Rate (FAR) of the system.

    (b) On the basis of the available evidence, determine whether Adam (A) should be categorised as a
    sheep, a goat or a lamb, providing appropriate quantitative indicators to support your
    categorisation.

    (a)
    FRR = 1/15 = 6.67%
    FAR = 9/30 = 30%

    (b)
    Adam showed low FRR (6.67%).

    When Bill pretended to be


    Adam, he succeeded 7 out of 15
    attempts (46.7%) which is high.

    So, Adam is most likely a lamb.
