 WHAT IS
BIOMETRIC
Biometric ?
is the most secure and
convenient authentication tool.
It can not be borrowed, stolen, or
forgotten and forging one is practically
impossible.
Biometrics measure individual's unique
physical or behavioral characteristics to
recognize or authenticate their identity.
BIOMETRIC TECHNOLOGIES
 There are many biometric
technologies to suit different
types of applications. Here comes
a list of biometrics :
 Fingerprints
A fingerprint looks at the patterns found on
a fingertip.
There are a variety of approaches to
fingerprint verification, such as traditional
police method, using pattern-matching
devices, and things like moire fringe
patterns and ultrasonics.
 Hand geometry
This involves analyzing and measuring the
shape of the hand.
It might be suitable where there are more
users or where user access the system
infrequently.
Accuracy can be very high if desired, and
flexible performance tuning and
configuration can accommodate a wide
range of applications.
 Signature
 Signature verification analyses the way
user signs his name.
 Signing features such as speed, velocity,
and pressure are as important as the
finished signature's static shape.
 People are used to signatures as a means
of transaction-related identity verification

 Uses of Biometrics
Biometric technology is one area that no segment
of the IT industry can afford to ignore. Biometrics
provide security benefits across the spectrum, from
IT vendors to end users, and from security system
developers to security system users.
It is also expected that virtual access as the
application that will provide the critical mass to
move biometrics for network and computer access.
E-commerce developers are exploring the use of
biometrics and smart cards to more accurately
verify a trading party's identity.
