WHAT IS BIOMETRICS?

 Biometrics is a set of Automated methods to recognize a

person based on Physiological and behavioral
characteristics.
 Depending on application context Biometric system can
be either verification or identification.

HOW CAN WE USE BIOMETRICS

Identification: One to Many match. (1->N).
Provides a “username + password “equivalent.

Verification:One to One match.(1->1).

Provides a “password” equivalent.
Verifies whether the user is whom he claims to be.

BIOMETRIC APPLICATIONS
Traditionally biometric applications are divided into three main
categories.
Applications providing “logical access” to data or information
Applications providing “physical access” to tangible material
or controlled areas.
Applications which verify or identify an individual from a
database or token.

CONCLUSION
 There is great demand for the fast, tremendously
accurate authentication biometric systems.

 Continued improvements in technology, increased

performance at a lower cost, fueling the continued
growth in operational systems is always necessary.

 The growth will place greater demand on both

biometric system developers and they need to work
together for better future of biometrics
