Biometrics is a technology which helps to assess individuals on the basis
of their physical or behavioral patterns. It involves the verification and
identification of both physiological traits such as fingerprints, face
recognition, DNA, palm print, hand geometry, and iris recognition, and
behavioral traits such as keystroke patterns and speech pattern/voice
recognition. The data derived are then used for security and authentication
purposes, as it is difficult to forge biometric data. Biometrics is mainly used
for law enforcement, banking authentication, and providing physical access. It
helps provide an extra layer of security for data access and individual
identification.
Analysts forecast the Biometrics market
in Europe will grow at a CAGR of 17.25 percent during the
