INTRODUCTION
Biometries = bios + metrons means life and metron means
measure

In the terms of computer security, biometrics refers to


authentication techniques that rely on measurable physiological
and individual characteristics that can be automatically verified.

A Biometrics System is a system for the automated recognition


of individuals based on their behaviour and biological
characteristics. Also called
BEHAVIOMETRICS.

Biometric-based solutions are able to provide for confidential


financial transactions and personal data
Depending on the context, in a
biometrics system, there are
two different ways to resolve a
person's identity
1. Verification
II. Identification

VERIFICATION
Comparing a sample against a
single stored template is
called verification.

IDENTIFICATION
Search a sample against a

Physiological biometrics:
Physiological are related to the shape of
the body.
EXAMPLES :-
• Handprint
• Fingerprint
• Retina
• Face
) Behavioral Biometrics:
Behavioral are related to the behavior of a
person.
EXAMPLES:-
• Voice/Speech
• Handwriting/Signature
• Movement Patterns(i.e. typing, walking,
etc.)
HOW BIOMETRICS WORKS?
Handprint
Everybody has unique
handprints.
A handprint Biometric
Systems scans hand and
fingers and the data is
compared with the
specimen stored for you in
the system. The user is
allowed or denied based on
the result of this
Fingerprint
Fingerprints are used in
forensic and
Identification for long time.
Fingerprint Biometric
Systems
examine the unique
characteristics
of your fingerprints and use
that
information to determine
Retina
Retina Pattern Biometric
stem uses an infrared beam
to scan your retina. Retina
pattern biometric systems
examine the unique
characteristics of user's
retina and compare that
information with stored
pattern to determine
whether user should he
allowed access.
Face
A facial recognisation
system is a computer
application for
automatically identifying
or verifying a person from
a digital image or a video
frame from a video
source.
Voice/Speech
Voice Patterns Biometric
Systems can also be
used for user
authentication. Voice
Patterns Biometric
Systems examine the
unique characteristics of
user's voice.
Handwriting/
Signature
Signature recognition is a
behavioral biometric. The
dynamics is measured as a
means of the pressure,
direction, acceleration and the
length of the strokes, dynamics
number of strokes and their
duration.

Biometric
Systems examine
the unique
characteristics of
user’s keystrokes
and use that
information to
determine
whether the user
should be allowed
ADVANTAGES
• Criminal identification
• Prison security
• ATM and other Financial Transactions
• PC/LAN Login
• Database access
• Border crossing controls Biometrics
DISADVANTAGES
• Costly
• Facial imaging can also hinder
accurate identifications.
• Missing body part problem.
• False acceptances and rejections.
• The amount of comfort.
APPLICATION OF BIOMETRICS
• Security Authentication
• E-commerce and E-
• governments
• Secure Banking and Financial
Transaction
• Digital Rights Management
• Healthcare Application
• Crime Investigation
• Social Services
FUTURE
SCOPE
Time clocks or biometric time and attendance systems,
which are being increasingly used in various organizations
to control employee timekeeping.
Biometric safes and biometric locks, provides security to
the homeowners.
Biometric access control systems, providing strong
security at entrances.
Biometric systems are also developed for securing access
to pc's and providing single logon facilities.
Biometrics airport security devices are also deployed at
some of the world's famous airports to enhance the
CONCLUSION
Biometrics is a very interesting and exciting
field that has be growing exponentially in
recent years (especially 2001).
While Biometric authentication can offer a
high degree of security, they are far from
perfect solution.
The influences of biometric technology on
society and the risks to privacy and threat to
identify will require meditation through
legislation.
