A security technique that verifies an individual’s identity by analyzing a unique physical attribute, such as a handprint.

Biometrics use physical characteristics of the users to determine access.

The biological identification of human features, such as eyes, voices and hands, increasingly used to identify individuals, e.g., in laptop computers, entry systems and passports.

Biometrics requires a user to provide a unique identifier, such as a fingerprint or voice sample, which is compared to a stored record before the user can gain access to the computer.

automated methods of recognizing a person based on a physiological characteristic such as fingerprints, retina, voice, etc.

In the field of authentication, biometrics is the method whereby a person is recognized according to personal traits, presumably ones they cannot alter. Typical examples are signatures we sign on d [..]

Biometrics is a term for processes and techniques that endeavour to uniquely identify individuals based on physical or behavioural traits. These may be: Physiological - for example, fingerprints, iris patterns, facial images, DNA, etc. or Behavioural - for example gait, vocal patterns, handwriting, etc.

Human attributes that are unique to one given individual and can be digitalize to then be compared with a stored reference. The use of biometrics data such as finger prints can be used for security services such as access control, data encryption or digital signature The challenge of Biometry is to enroll then securely store the reference data for [..]

The measurement of a physical trait that is unique, such as a fingerprint, hand geometry or iris pattern. In access control this is used to identify authorized users and to grant or deny access.

In access control, the use of a person’s physical characteristics, such as fingerprint or iris pattern, to authenticate identity.

The study of automated methods for uniquely recognizing humans based upon one or more intrinsic physical or behavioral traits.
