Biometrics, automatic methods for identifying a person on the basis

comes from the

biological or behavioral characteristic of the person. Many biological

such as fingerprints, and behavioral characteristics, such as voice
distinctive to each person. Therefore, biometrics is more reliable and
distinguishing between a specific individual and an impostor than any
on identification (ID) document or a password. The word biometrics
Greek bios (life) and metrics (measure).

In computer technology, biometrics relates to identity-confirmation and security techniques that rely on measurable,
individual biological characteristics. For example, fingerprints, handprints, or voice patterns might be used to enable
access to a computer, to a room, or to an electronic commerce account.
In general, there are three levels of computer security schemes.

I. Level 1 relies on something a person carries, such as an ID badge with a photograph or a computer cardkey.

II. Level 2 relies on something a person knows, such as a password or a code number.

III. Level 3, the highest level, relies on something that is a part of a persons biological makeup or behavior, such as a
fingerprint, a facial image, or a signature.
