Comparison between Fingerprint-Based Biometric Recognition Systems and QR Code-Based Authentication Systems: Challenges, Solutions, and Applications

Abstract

This paper aims to reflect upon the limitations of the fingerprint-based biometric system and a way to overcome them with the help of a QR Code based system. Primary data was collected through a questionnaire to get the insight of people having exposure to both the systems, and it was backed with secondary data to get an overall comparison. The research showed that QR Codes fared better than fingerprint biometrics in parameters like accuracy, cost-effectiveness, maintenance, and future scope. The study has attempted to apply the findings with the help of an android application, which would help the Indian MSMEs manage their employees. © 2021 IEEE.
