Mission
Statement
Our goal is to protect and secure the nation with
cutting edge technology that never fails to preserve
your privacy.

Security Plan
Shhh! Security is the newest plan made specially for the government and its confidential
information. Top notch scanners and technology are incorporated into every part of this unbeatable
security system.
Safe scanner

Conveyor belt for metal belongings

Fingerprint/Vein scan

Once approved, tablet pen is unlocked

Handwriting test on tablet

Answer personalized security question

Eye scan

Camera on tablet scans retina

The Safe Scanner

Shhh! Security begins with a walk-through scanner

that screens its user very carefully. It uses highly
sensitive technology to detect any harmful objects,
and insure that it is safe to enter into the next room.

Any objects a user may have that would interfere

with the walk-through scanner will be placed on a
conveyor belt to be scanned separately. These items
will not be given back to the user until the entire
security process has been completed. This conveyor
belt would be big enough to allow medium sized
objects to pass through, yet small enough to ensure
no person could pass through.

If either security systems claims an item is

dangerous, a security agent will be called to resolve
the problem.

Fingerprint Scanner
Once going through the safe scanner, you will
be locked in a small room with a door on the
opposite wall. The fingerprint scanner is on the
tablet. The scanner recognizes the person so
that the next step of the system knows which
specific security question to ask and also the
pen is unlocked.
Fingerprint scanning is effective because
everyone has their own unique fingerprint that
can be identified.

Vein Geometry Sensor (optional instead of

fingerprint)
For better accuracy and protection, a vein scanner can be substituted for
the fingerprint scanner.
Simply place your hand on or near the scanner, and have it detect the
veins in your hand.
Every persons veins are unique (including twins).
It would be very unlikely for someone to be able to forge their veins,
whereas fingerprints can be forged with gel replicas.
Vein patterns hardly evolve with age.

Handwriting Test

Once the fingerprint/vein scan has been completed successfully, a pen to the

The handwriting test is an amazing way to prove identity because the speed,
force, and overall appearance of the letters are very unique. Appearance of the
letters may be easy to copy but because the tablet measures speed and force, it
is very secure. The question also has to be answered correctly, which is another
way this is system is incredibly safe.

The question that is asked can be made up by the person that will be answering
it. When they make their question, they will also answer it like they would, so
speed, force, and overall appearance can be recorded.

sliding tablet on the wall will be unlocked. This pen will be used to answer a
personalized, one-word answer security question.

Eye Scanner

The last security measure is the eye scanner. The scanner is built into the camera on the tablet,
which is on a slider to accommodate any height. The person will put the camera at eye level and
look directly into the scanner. It will scan the retina and quickly check the scan with the identity
that was established in the initial fingerprint scan.

There are two available forms of eye scans:

Retinal Scan: shines an infrared light through the pupil to analyze the blood vessel pattern in the back of
the eye

Iris Scan: examines the pattern of ridges around the iris, which is unique for every individual (even identical
twins)

Glasses, contacts, and even colored contacts will not affect the accuracy of this eye scanner at all. So this will not
be any inconvenience.

Eye scans will be recorded when the person records the fingerprint scan and the security question.

Accuracy/Limitations

Fingerprint Scan

Fingerprint scans are generally very accurate with a 95-98% success rate

Accuracy can depend on gender, race, and/or chemical residue on fingers

Fingerprints are able to be forged but would be difficult with all of the other security levels

Vein Geometry Sensor

Vein sensors are just as accurate as a fingerprints

Might not be as valid if person has low blood pressure

Handwriting Analysis

Handwriting cant be forged due to the many unique components that goes into writing making it
an effective form of identification

Unbeatable System
As you can see, this system is pretty much unbeatable.
Between fingerprint readings (or vein scannings), a personal
question, high-tech measurements of handwriting, and the
eye scan, this system makes it nearly impossible for
someone to fake their own identity.
This system works incredibly to ensure those who are
supposed to pass through are able to, and those who are
prohibited are not able to.

Success Story
Check out what one customer has to say about our security system:

This technology is absolutely incredible, the advancements made on security

is astonishing. Ever since this security system was incorporated into our
laboratories, there has been a drastic drop in the intrusion rate of
unauthorized personnel. I feel as if all of our hard work here is safe and
secure with Shhh! Security protecting it.

Issues of Privacy
Some may think these biometrics invade their privacy,
however this security system is vital in protecting our nation.
All of the data needed to identify a person will be previously
recorded and will be held confidential.
All of the biometrics results will be held confidential in the
secure room.
