    Background and Significance

    Biometric is the use of distinctive biological or behaviour characteristics to identify

    people. Biometric data is a general term used to refer to any computer data that is created

    during a biometric process[ CITATION Ted09 \l 2057 ]. Automated biometric recognition

    mimics, through a combination of hardware and pattern recognitions algorithms, a

    fundamental human attribute to distinguish and recognize other people as individual and

    unique. The main objectives of biometric systems is the recognition or authentication of

    individuals based on some physical or behavioural characteristics that are intrinsically unique

    for each individual[ CITATION Nik10 \l 2057 ]. Examples of these biometric identifiers are facial

    patterns, fingerprints, typing cadence or voice. Each of these identifiers is considered unique

    to the individual, and they may be used in combinations to ensure greater accuracy of

    identification.

    The applications of biometrics ranges from access control, military and surveillance to

    banks and multimedia copyright protection. The first time you use the biometric system, it

    collects basic information about you[ CITATION Rob101 \l 2057 ]. It then captures by taking a

    picture or recording of your particular characteristic by recording it. It then stages to storing,

    Contrary to what you can see in films, most applications do not store the entire image or

    video. Instead, they analyze and translate your trait into a code or a graph. Some systems also

    store this data on a smart card with you. The next time you use the system it compares the

    function you present to the file data the next time you use the program. Then it either accepts

    or denies what you want to be who you are[ CITATION Joh07 \l 2057 ]. The system also uses

    three components;

     A sensor that has the purpose of detecting the characteristic being applied or used for

    identification

     A computer that is responsible for acquiring, interpreting and storing the information
    PROSPECTUS 3

     Software that is used to analyze the characteristic, translating it into interpretable

    presentations inform of codes or graph and performing the actual comparison

    Summary and Hypotheses

    The main goal of this Thesis will be to provide an improvised biometric data system

    that is more durable and prone to data breaching in healthcare facilities, (using behaviour

    identifier) in order to reach an absolute security of data for health facilities and other related

    organisations. Essentially, the biometric gadget on this thesis is suited to record on

    engagement combination of patterns that include the mouth lips while talking, mouth and

    teeth structure, tongue shape and the size and shape of the mouth (Mouth identifier). Despite

    the recent report of data bleaching where by researchers managed to access gigabyte of

    database of millions of people, applying the use of behaviour identity like physical patterns,

    navigation patters, physical movements and engagement patterns would best suit to curb such

    cases of theft.

    The proposed improvised biometric will provide sustainability and a fast access to

    information in hospitals and other health facilities to patients whose health data are
    PROSPECTUS 4

    electronically stored. To make the four features as of the mouth identifier stronger, first is

    applying a one simple way password. Storing passwords by first encrypting them and

    "hashing" them is a common practice. This is basically a one-way authentication variant

    which turns passwords into a string of characters known as a message digest which

    decryption is nearly impossible. It means that attackers/hackers can't get the passwords even

    if the coded keys were released. With their original plain text format, modern systems would

    never store passwords. In the recent biometric database breach, the data was stored in raw

    format without authentication. This means that hackers can directly access and duplicate

    users ' raw biometric features for critical services.

    The other combination would be use of block chain, the system behind

    cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, which would be another way to make biometric systems more

    secure[ CITATION Emm18 \l 2057 ]. With blockchain technology, you can store customer data in

    multiple computers around the world in a distributed ledger that is protected by cryptography.

    It ensures that only the data (or data blocks) can be accessed by licensed parties and any

    attempt to change the information will be identified by any other user subscribing to the

    blockchain[ CITATION Jav19 \l 2057 ]. It is also possible to create shared private ledgers that can

    only be viewed by some individuals.

    Methods

    Experiments:

    The experiment will assess the use of behaviour identifier that is designed to capture

    on the speed of talking, mouth and teeth structure, tongue shape and the size and shape of the

    mouth and after capturing the data, technologies it by building and attaching it to blockchain.

    This process is chosen due to its higher efficiency capturing and storing. The assessment will

    involve healthcare fraternities like hospital, with participants who will carry out the tests to
    PROSPECTUS 5

    find the result of the improvisation. Three tests will be carried on that will distinguish how

    secure the platform is over the other. The first test will be using the usual biometrics

    securities entries; the physical identifier that includes facial patterns, voice or typing cadence,

    and finger print. The second test will include usual behavioural biometrics that include

    keystroke dynamics, gait analysis, mouse use characteristics and cognitive biometrics. The

    third and the final will text concerning the biometric with a combination of behavioural and

    block chain system. All these tests will go through scanning to prove their efficiency.

    Participants:

    To test on the efficiency of the improvisation, it will sample willing participants who

    have health statistics, and their records will be re-administered afresh, so that they can meet

    the expectance of the behaviour identifiers of the mouth scan. The patients will be guided

    through a process of their behaviour change in regard to their mouth. After capturing the data,

    it will be taken through a process of storage and the patient will provide a password to the

    records, then the data will be encrypted and hashed them is a common practice. In this case,

    letter y will be choosing to represent the name of the patient.

    Procedure:

    In order to determine the operation degree to which the information or data of patient

    is secure, and the platform cannot be easily breached, two processes must be undergone.

    First, the patient data is be acquired, and entered in to the new system for application

    assessment. Second, the patient is to pass through scanning process. After the scanning, the

    information acquired will be used as the entry login password to retrieve the data to the

    patient portal.

    The results obtained from the three tests will be used to evaluate the durability and

    flexibility levels of the usual and the improvised biometrics, and determine the best efficiency
    PROSPECTUS 6

    of the improvised biometric. Measuring if it meets the standards needed for security of the

    information storage.

    Results:

    The results of the experiment could indicate three possible results. Results one to the

    first test could indicate that after scanning the patient and applying the physical identifiers,

    the biometric was easily prone to threats and wasn’t strong to resist appliance of strong

    hacking threats. The second test on the physical and behavioural identifiers would display

    slight strength to resistance against threats, though after appliance of strongest threats the

    biometric will be breached. The third test, combination of behavioural and use of block chain

    systems would show how strong the biometric is strong against hacking and any other mode

    of threat to data breaching.
