 INTRODUCTION
• Biometrics are automated methods of recognizing a person based on
a physiological or behavioral characteristic.
• Which includes fingerprint, palm veins, face recognition, DNA, palm
print, hand geometry, iris recognition, retina.
• This method of identification is preferred over traditional methods
involving passwords and pin numbers for various reasons.
• Biometrics technologies measure a particular set of a person's vital
statistics in order to determine identity.
 What is biometric?
• The word "biometrics" is derived from the Greek words 'bios' and
'metric';
• Which means life and measurement respectively.
• This directly translates into "life measurement".
 HISTORY
•  There is also evidence that fingerprints were used as a person’s mark
as early as 500 B.C. “Babylonian business transactions are recorded in
clay tablets that include fingerprints.”
• The first real biometric system was created in 1870 by French
anthropologist Alphonse Bertillon and turned biometrics a
distinguished field of study.
• The first classification method for fingerprints was developed in 1892
by Sir. Francis Galton.
 Types of Biometrics

• Behavioral Biometrics- Used for verification . 

• Physical Biometrics- Used for either identification or verification.

 Behavioral Biometrics

• Speaker Recognition
• Signature
• Keystroke
 Physical Biometrics
• Fingerprint.
• Facial Recognition.
• Hand.
• Iris recognition.
• Vascular Patterns.
Characteristics of Biometric
 Biometric Devices
• Iris Scanner.
• Fingerprint Scanner.
• Face Camera.
• Retinal Scanning.
• DNA Matching.
Iris Scanner
Fingerprint Scanner
Face Camera

 Applications
• Biometric Time Clocks or Biometric time and attendance systems,
which are being increasingly used in various organizations to control
employee timekeeping.
• Biometric safes and biometric locks, provides security to the
homeowners.
• Biometric access control systems, providing strong security at
entrances.
 Advantages
• Increase security -Provide a convenient and low-cost additional tier of
security.
• Reduce password administration costs.
• Replace hard-to-remember passwords which may be shared or
observed.
• Unequivocally link an individual to a transaction or event.
