Abstract
The widespread use of biometric technology has made biometrics a part of our day-to-day
lives. For example, biometrics are employed to purchase goods, unlock smart devices, board
planes, or gain access to establishments.
This quantitative study investigates attitudes of individuals towards biometric information
and its sharing. In addition, the study aims to determine whether these attitudes are influences
by the type of institution, such as private organizations or government agencies with whom the
information is shared. In this work, biometrics, their widespread use, privacy, and security
concerns affiliated with their use are briefly discussed.
An online survey consisting of 28 questions was utilized to gather data from 298
participants. The data were analyzed using t-test and analysis of variance (ANOVA) statistical
methods.
The analysis shows that certain factors such as level of education, age, affiliation with a
specific group (undergraduate students vs. other campus community members), and technical
skills influence individuals’ attitudes towards sharing biometric information. The research
concluded that surveyed individuals are more willing to share biometric information with
private organizations than government agencies. In addition, undergraduate students are more
inclined to share their biometric information than other campus community members, and the
level of education individuals achieve influences their decision on this issue.
