What is DNA Matching

Chapter 13
Handbook of Research on Securing Cloud-Based Databases with Biometric Applications
Human has 23 pairs of chromosomes containing their DNA blueprint. One member of each chromosomal pair comes from their mother, and the other comes from their father. Genes make up 5 percent of the human genone. The other 95 percent are non-coding sequences. In non-coding regions there are identical repeat sequences of DNA, which can be repeated anywhere from one to 30 times in row. These regions are called variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs). The chance of 2 individuals sharing the same DNA profile is less than one in a hundred billion with 26 different bands studied.

Abstract
Biometric-based authentication is automatic identity verification, based on individual physiological or behavioural characteristics, such as fingerprints, voice, face, iris, etc. Over the next few years, the amount of biological data will increase rapidly and require enormous amounts of storage space and huge processing power. To face those challenges, the Service Providers are looking towards a distributed approach, Cloud Computing, which can improve the Quality of Service (QoS) of overall systems and handle the challenges quite efficiently with its unlimited storage space, and parallel processing power, using the help of virtualization technology and rapid data distribution capacity. This chapter presents the important standards and recommendation of Biometric Services in Cloud Platform and elaborates the potential value of Cloud-Based Biometric Services by presenting two important case studies.
