Biometrics is a
technology that helps in the identification of individuals based on their
physical or behavioral features. It involves 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 technology is also
used for authentication purposes. A biometrics system can be either an
identification system or a verification system. In an identification system, a
person’s identity is determined without their consent. Identification systems
are more often used in surveillance applications. In a verification system, the
biometric data is used only to verify a person’s identity. Verification systems
are mostly used in access control applications.
