This question's explanation and your answers so far.
問 72
Incorrectア
“a, b”. b is biometric authentication, but a is a CAPTCHA that has the user read and enter a distorted character string; it is a mechanism for confirming whether the user is a human (that is, not a bot), not biometric information unique to the individual. It is not biometric authentication “only”, so it is wrong.
Incorrectイ
“a, d”. a is a CAPTCHA, and d is pattern authentication that traces dots in a predetermined order — knowledge-based authentication that uses information known only to the individual. Neither is biometric authentication, so it is wrong.
- ウ
正解 Biometric authentication identifies a person using biometric information unique to that individual — physical traits such as fingerprints, veins, and irises, or behavioral traits such as signatures, keystrokes, and voiceprints. b uses changes in keystroke speed and timing (keystroke dynamics), and c uses handwriting, pen pressure, and pen-movement speed; both rely on behavioral traits unique to the individual, so they count as behavioral biometrics. Only the combination of b and c lists examples that are solely biometric authentication, so ウ is correct.
Incorrectエ
“c, d”. c is biometric authentication, but d is pattern authentication that traces dots in a set order — that is, knowledge-based authentication, not biometric information. It does not form a combination that lists biometric authentication “only”, so it is wrong.
- Biometric authentication = a method that identifies a person by their unique physical traits (fingerprint, vein, iris, face) or behavioral traits (signature, keystroke rhythm, voiceprint).
- Distinguish that knowledge-based authentication (passwords, patterns) and CAPTCHA, which separates humans from bots, are not biometric authentication.
