WHAT IS BIOMETRICS?
BIOMETRICS IS THE DEVELOPMENT OF STATISTICAL AND MATHEMATICAL METHODS APPLICABLE TO DATA ANALYSIS PROBLEMS IN BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES.

NEED FOR BIOMETRICS

Only authorized users should access the data. For this, identity checking is very necessary. There are chances of ID theft. Biometrics can help us get rid of thes ID theft problems.

HISTORY
The word biometrics is derived from the Greek words Bio-life and Metrics-measure. Father of Biometrics technology-Alphonse Bertillon. Bertillionage Fingerprinting technology-Richard Edward Henry of Scotland Yard

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION
False Acceptance Rate[FAR]-chance of accepting an intruder False Reject Rate[FRR]-probability of rejecting a genuine individual

BIOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS
Generally the are two types of biometric characteristics. They are:Physiological characteristics Behavioral characteristics

Parameters
Universality Uniqueness Permanence Collectability Performance Circumvention

MODES OF WORKING
A biometric system works in two modes. They are:Identification Verification

PROCESS OF BIOMETRIC RECOGNITION

DIFFERENT METHODS
Fingerprinting Face recognition Voice recognition Iris/Retina recognition Signature test Keystroke dynamics DNA Palm printing Hand geometry Gait

APPLICATIONS
Forensic sciences-crime investigation and prison security. Used to prevent unauthorized access to ATMs, PCs, workstations and in research labs. As an effective tool to prevent hacking and other cyber crimes. In making medical insurance cards and driving licenses. Automobiles where biometrics can replace keys.

DISADVANTAGES
Data obtained during biometric enrollment can be misused. When thieves cannot get access to secure properties, they might harm the property and its owner. If a token or password is lost, it can be cancelled & replaced. This is not possible in a biometric system. It needs initial high investment, more time and careful maintenance.
