Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT) — Question 13

Which of the following is a vulnerability of a sensitive biometrics authentication system?

Answer options

• A. Theft of finely individualized personal data.
• B. Slow recognition speeds.
• C. False negatives.
• D. False positives.

Correct answer:

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as the theft of highly specific personal data poses a significant risk to the integrity and security of biometric systems. While slow recognition speeds (B), false negatives (C), and false positives (D) can affect user experience and accuracy, they do not represent vulnerabilities in the same way that the theft of sensitive data does.
