No doubt, the biometric attendance machine came in the market to fix the drawbacks associated with all other attendance machines used to date. But since its launch, many technical experts have already cautioned us regarding its error-prone susceptibilities. The working procedure of this biometric attendance machine is based upon matching the biometric information like fingerprints, iris, palm vein, and more, of an employee with the already stored data on the master server.
This biometric information is always vulnerable to get leaked. As in this digital world, everyday software developers get a breakthrough in increasing online security. Similarly, hackers too always remain in a look to develop some bypass and infiltrate that secured digital services. So this may create havoc in the life of any person, as it can leak his/her financial details, which are linked through the Aadhar card.
The above difficulties have generally been overlooked the employers as there were no other alternatives to the biometric attendance machine in the market. And majorly all employers were forced to use the biometric attendance machine at their workspace. But since the global outbreak of the corona various governing bodies have banned the biometric attendance machine from the workspace. And they are asking companies to handle the recognition logs TOUCHLESS and manually.
