Technological advancements and the increasing necessity to protect sensitive data have elevated the significance of biometrics in the realm of security. Its application has expanded to encompass mobile devices and identity management. Nevertheless, as it integrates into everyday life and the business environment, challenges concerning privacy and security surface inevitably. Therefore, it is imperative to evaluate potential vulnerabilities in biometric authentication. For the purpose of this evaluation, documents stored in various databases, including IEEE Xplore, SciELO, ScienceDirect, and Scopus, were analyzed. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied, allowing the selection of 20 articles. The findings uncovered several threats, such as fingerprint reconstruction and presentation attacks, along with proposed solutions like 3D representations and verification systems. Furthermore,...

In this article, we explore the impact of design thinking in technology, both in software development and hardware design. Technology professionals have adopted this approach when designing user interfaces, mobile applications, and websites or web platforms. By researching and empathizing with users, frictions and pain points in the user experience can be identified and user-centric solutions can be proposed that improve usability and overall satisfaction. In software development, design thinking improves the user experience by creating more intuitive applications and platforms. Results showed that the application of this approach led to significant improvements in usability, functionality and overall user satisfaction. Similarly, in hardware design, design thinking ensures that physical technology products are aesthetically appealing and functional. Products designed with this approach ...
