Why Biometrics Is Required ?

Any biometrics mainly consist following processes. Identification. Authentication.

Working of Biometrics

Various Biometric Technologies

Finger print identification Hand geometry Retina scanning Iris scanning Signature verification Vein biometrics

Finger Print Identification

Hand Geometry

System use the persons finger length, thickness, and curvature for the purpose of authentication.

Retina Scanning

Iris Recognition
A primary visible characteristic is a trabecular meshwork. Advantage

Vein Biometrics
Vein check system identifies a person using the pattern of vein in back of the hand. Advantages : Low cost camera Template size Stable It also differs even between twins

Errors in Biometrics
False acceptance rate accept unauthorized user False rejection rate reject an authorized user

Applications
In criminal identification IT/Network security Banking system In automobile In workstation and network access Access control PC/LAN logon Public identity card

Conclusion
Biometrics is expected to be incorporated in solutions to provide for Homeland Security including applications for improving airport security, strengthening our national borders, in travel documents, visas and in preventing ID theft. A wide variety of physically unique trait of our body will soon allows us to live in a very secure, password less world!
