Biometrics consists of methods for uniquely recognizing humans based upon one or moreintrinsic physical or behavioral traits.

In computer science, in particular, biometrics is used as a form of identity access management and access control. It is also used to identify individuals in groups that are under surveillance. Biometric characteristics can be divided in two main classes 
[citation needed]

Physiological are related to the shape of the body. Examples include, but are not limited to fingerprint, face recognition, DNA, Palm print, hand geometry, iris recognition, which has largely replaced retina, and odour/scent.

Behavioral are related to the behavior of a person. Examples include, but are not limited to typing rhythm, gait, and voice. Some researchers have coined the termbehaviometrics for this class of biometrics.
[1]

v Strictly speaking, voice is also a physiological trait because every person has a different ocal tract, but voice recognition is mainly based on the study of the way a person speaks, commonly classified as behavioral.

The basic block diagram of a biometric system

It is possible to understand if a human characteristic can be used for biometrics in terms of the following parameters:       
[2]

Universality each person should have the characteristic. Uniqueness is how well the biometric separates individuals from another. Permanence measures how well a biometric resists aging and other variance over time. Collectability ease of acquisition for measurement. Performance accuracy, speed, and robustness of technology used. Acceptability degree of approval of a technology. Circumvention ease of use of a substitute.
