Answer to Question #278616 in Software Engineering for Prisy

Question

a. Explain the notion of “crypto system;” also, say how its encryption and decryption 

algorithms can be specified mathematically.

b. Biometric technology has been available for a number of years; however, its adoption has 

been slow. Discuss the factor(s) that you see as inhibiting or delaying the adoption of biometric 

technologies. Also include in your answer any factor(s) that might increase the adoption of 

biometrics.

Answer 1

a. Crypto systems are systems intended to protect data. Encryption and decryption algorithms can be specified mathematically with special equations and algorithms.

b. The factors inhibiting or delaying the adoption of biometric technologies are the easiness of their hacking: the biometric data currently used (fingerprints, voice, face) is easy to access by special external means.
