Abstract

Biometrics refers to the Automated Recognition of Individuals based on their physiological or behavioral traits like voice, signature, face, iris, retina and many more. It uses the biometric characteristics of an individual that are Unique and cannot be imitated. A basic biometric system is made-up of a sensor to capture the biometric characteristics, a computer unit to process and save biometric data and an application, for which the user’s authentication is necessary. To carry out the authentication process a biometric system works in three modes. At a fundamental level, the matching algorithm returns a number that indicates the degree of similarity or dissimilarity between the two biometric samples. Biometrics is improving rapidly, and its integrators and resellers are leading the way.
