 Definition of biometrics
• Biometrics refer to the automatic identification of a
person based on his or her physiological or behavioral
characteristics.
 BIOMETRICS TERM
 Recognition
 Identification
 Verification
 PHYSICAL BIOMETRICS
 Fingerprint
 Facial recognition/face location
 Hand geometry
 Iris scan
 Retina scan
 FINGERPRINT RECOGNITION
 A live acquisition of a
person’s fingerprint.
 Dots (very small ridges)
 Space between two
temporarily divergent
ridges),
 Bridges (small ridges joining
two longer adjacent
ridges),crossover (two
ridges that cross each
other).
 FACIAL RECOGNITION
• Capture image
• Find face in image
• Extract features (store
template)
• Compare templates
• Declare matches
 HAND GEOMETRY
• Hand or finger geometry is an automated
measurement of many dimensions of the hand and
fingers.
 IRIS RECOGNITION
• Iris scanning measures the iris pattern in the colored
part of the eye,
RETINA RECOGNITION

• Images back of the eye

and compares blood
vessels with existing
data.
 BEHAVIORAL BIOMETRICS
 Speaker/voice recognition
 Signature/handwriting
 Keystroke/patterning
 SPEAKER/VOICE RECOGNITION
• Voice or speaker recognition uses vocal
characteristics to identify individuals using a pass-
phrase.
• A telephone or microphone can serve as a sensor,
 SIGNATURE VERIFICATION
• An automated method of
measuring an individual’s
signature.
• This technology examines
speed, direction, and
pressure of writing; the
time that the stylus is in
and out of contact with
the “paper”.
 KEYSTROKE DYNMICS
• Keystroke dynamics is an automated method of
examining an individual’s keystrokes on a keyboard.
• This technology examines such dynamics as speed
and pressure, the total time taken to type particular
words, and the time elapsed between hitting certain
keys.
 APPLICATIONS
 Prevent unauthorized access to ATMs, Cellular
phones Desktop PCs
 Criminal identification
 In automobile biometrics can replace keys with
keyless entry devices
 Airport security
 CONCLUSION
• Biometric is an emerging area with many
opportunities for growth.
• Possibly in the near future, you will not have to
remember PINs and passwords and keys in your bags
or pockets will be things of the past.
