Certified Information Privacy Technologist (CIPT) — Question 9

Which is the most accurate type of biometrics?

Answer options

• A. DNA
• B. Voiceprint.
• C. Fingerprint.
• D. Facial recognition.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

DNA is considered the most accurate type of biometrics because it provides a unique genetic identifier that is nearly impossible to replicate. In contrast, while voiceprints, fingerprints, and facial recognition can be effective, they are more susceptible to errors and can be influenced by environmental factors or changes in the individual, making them less reliable than DNA.
