Biometrics are automated methods of recognising
a person based on a physiological or behavioral characteristics.
Among the features measured are; face, fingerprints, hand
geometry, handwriting, iris, retinal, vein, and voice.
Biometric technologies are becoming the foundation
of an extensive array of highly secure identification and
personal verification solutions. As the level of security
breaches and transaction fraud increases, the need for highly
secure identification and personal verification technologies
is becoming apparent.
Biometric-based solutions are able to provide
for confidential financial transactions and personal data
privacy. The need for biometrics can be found in Federal,
State and Local Governments, in the military, and in commercial
applications.
Enterprise-wide network security infrastructures,
Government IDs, secure electronic banking, investing and other
financial transactions, retail sales, law enforcement, and
health and social services are already benefiting from these
technologies.
