Abstract: Authentication is a fundamental component of human interaction with computers. Traditional means of authentication, primarily password and personal identification numbers (PINs), have until recently dominated computing, and are likely to remain essential for the years to come. Over the years, passwords are kept simple to avoid them being easily forgotten. This has subjected them to higher vulnerability to much compromise by unauthorized persons. Thus, computers are forced to manage more and more passwords which imply that the likelihood of password being forgotten increases. Hence, biometrics is becoming more convenient and distinctly more precise than traditional methods such as passwords and PINs. Biometrics link the event to a particular individual, requires nothing to remember or carry, provides positive confirmation by verifying individuals are who they claim to be, and is becoming an inexpensive solution. This research work aims to evaluate fingerprint recognition technology for a biometric security system using the implementation at the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) as a case study; to reveal the enormous benefits of using or deploying biometrics which may include the increased security, increased convenience, reduce fraud, or delivery of enhanced services. An evaluation of the said system as deployed in COREN was advanced by the use of quantitative method which design administered a survey instrument in the form of a questionnaire among 20 employees of Council for Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN). Therefore, upon analyzing the responses from the field work conducted, it is evident that fingerprint recognition system is secured due to fingerprints uniqueness. The outcome of the system suggests that fingerprints, sensors and papillary line provide enough entropy on biometric security.

Abstract: In this paper, a problem in engineering area which the output variables are not corresponding to input variables is presented. To improve it, a kind of method to the identification and modeling of a common linear state system with delay factor are studied. The domain of this system with time-delay factor is transformed from the time-domain to the frequency-domain firstly, and then the subspace identification model with the hiding delay factor is constructed by using the data of frequency domain response. The coefficient matrix of the constructed model is identified by using the principal component analysis. And the engineering system can be modeled by knowing the state matrices in time domain which can be extracted from the coefficient matrices and using the least squares method from the frequency domain. On this basis, the time-delay factor of original system is split from input matrix by a kind of separated method. At last, the method proposed is used to identify the temperature system model of ceramic shuttle kiln. Simulation results show that the proposed method is effective and feasible.
