Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH v11) — Question 295

When purchasing a biometric system, one of the considerations that should be reviewed is the processing speed. Which of the following best describes what it is meant by processing?

Answer options

• A. The amount of time and resources that are necessary to maintain a biometric system
• B. How long it takes to setup individual user accounts
• C. The amount of time it takes to be either accepted or rejected from when an individual provides identification and authentication information
• D. The amount of time it takes to convert biometric data into a template on a smart card

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer, C, accurately describes processing as the time between providing identification and receiving acceptance or rejection. Option A focuses on maintenance, which is not relevant to processing speed, while B addresses account setup time, and D pertains to data conversion, neither of which directly relates to the speed of acceptance or rejection in biometric systems.
