Abstract

Selected biometric technologies such as iris, face, gait, voice, etc. are widely used for the recognition of individuals. This paper presents a biometric technology perception by members of staff from government agencies in Nigeria, namely: the National Identity Management Commission and Joint Admission Matriculation Board, on the use of selected technology for ethnicity recognition. The study was conducted using the quantitative method. Data were collected from the staff of selected agencies. Fingerprint, facial, and iris biometrics were selected for this experiment. Using the modified Technology Acceptance Model framework, results from the experiment showed the perception of staff on selected technologies in ethnicity recognition. Results show that technology enhanced job effectiveness, the majority of respondents agreed that fingerprint and facial biometrics would improve ethnicity detection; hence they were a popular choice for ethnicity recognition. The study showed that determining ethnicity from iris biometric would be difficult as the majority do not see the iris as a means of identifying a particular ethnic group. Five different hypotheses were tested to determine compatibility, ease of use, and attitude towards use (ATU) of the selected technology. Results showed that selected biometrics can effectively determine an ethnic group with a significance value at 0.000.

尼日利亚政府雇员对使用生物识别技术来确定一个人的种族群体的看法
部分生物识别技术如虹膜、面部、步态、声音等被广泛应用于个体识别。本文介绍了尼日利亚政府机构的工作人员对生物识别技术的看法,即:国家身份管理委员会和联合入学入学委员会,关于使用选定的技术进行种族识别。本研究采用定量方法进行。从选定机构的工作人员处收集数据。本实验选用指纹、面部和虹膜生物识别技术。使用改进的技术接受模型框架,实验结果显示了员工对种族识别中选定技术的看法。结果表明,技术提高了工作效率,大多数受访者认为指纹和面部生物识别技术将提高种族检测;因此,它们是种族承认的普遍选择。研究表明,通过虹膜生物特征来确定种族是很困难的,因为大多数人并不认为虹膜是识别特定种族的一种手段。测试了五种不同的假设,以确定所选技术的兼容性、易用性和使用态度(ATU)。结果表明,选择的生物特征可以有效地确定一个民族,显著性值为0.000。
