An Extension of the Technology Acceptance Model to Determine the Intention to Use Biometric Devices - End User Computing Challenges and Technologies: Emerging Tools and Applications - page 78

vignette 6: vignette 8:

Ken is one of the system administrators for a
company. As a system administrator Ken has
access to all files on the computer. The company
tracks administrator access to the server. The
company is implementing a fingerprint biometric
to authenticate onto the server as administrator.
Ken has to place his index finger on a biometric
device, which instantly authenticates him into
the server.

Katherine wants to use a credit card at a store to
pay for her purchases. Normally, she would have to
present an official photo id and sign a credit slip. To
increase security, a digital signature device is used
to authenticate the person. Katherine has to sign
a digital pad instead of signing a credit slip.

vignette 7:

A hospital keeps medical records on all its patients.
In the past, this information was protected by a
password that was freely passed around when
information was needed. For liability reasons, the
hospital wants to restrict access to the medical
records to only doctors and nurses. The hospital
decides to implement a retinal scanner biometric
device to ensure that only authorized individuals
access the medical records. The doctor or nurse
has to stand in front of the retinal scanner staring
at a marked spot for a few seconds to authenticate
into the system.
