Situational considerations in information security

This exploratory study provides extends the body of
knowledge associated with the nature of perceived
invasiveness toward biometric technologies. This
analysis of perceived invasiveness was conducted via
consideration of factors which may influence an
individual s willingness to use such technologies.
Specifically, this research validated a proposed
conceptual model and tested hypotheses which
evaluated if the eye was viewed as a significantly
more sensitive or invasive area of the person than
the hand when subject to appraisal by biometric
devices. The primary outcome of the study indicated
that, within the air travel security instance, the
factors of use context, preference, and proxemic
sensitivity are correlated with an individual s
perceived invasiveness toward eye-based biometric
technologies. The results also indicated that only
the factor of proxemic sensitivity was indicated to
be correlated with individual sentiment of perceived
invasiveness toward biometric technologies,
regardless of the class of biometric technology
under consideration.

This exploratory study provides extends the body of knowledge associated with the nature of perceived invasiveness toward biometric technologies. Thisanalysis of perceived invasiveness was conducted via consideration of factors which may influence an individual's willingness to use such technologies.

The primary outcome of the study indicated that, within the air travel security instance, the factors of use context, preference, and proxemic sensitivity are correlated with an individual'sperceived invasiveness toward eye-based biometric technologies. The results also indicated that only the factor of proxemic sensitivity was indicated to be correlated with individual sentiment of perceived invasiveness toward biometric technologies, regardless of the class of biometric technology under consideration.
