years for its ability to provide more security and efficiency to its users. The process is called biometric payment and it relies on a biometric authentication system that enables purchasers to simply scan their fingerprints to authenticate purchases and have their owing balance deducted directly from their bank account, saving time and improving security. Although there exist several different biometric systems that scan facial structure and voice, fingerprinting is the safest and most distinctive

BIOMETRICS SCANNING BY ADAM RUDDY AIU ONLINE 05 MAY 2012 Biometrics creates a digital copy of identifing markers in your finger prints, signature and voice commands. without these markes being detected the system will not open up or allow the user to access any information until they meet the security requirements. Biometrics uses a 348 byte sensory system to help store and generate the required sensory log needed to operate at full potential. Choosing to us biometrics you can rest assure that

the iris and retina are two of the most unique biometric traits exploited in two of the most accurate biometric verification and identification methods currently in use today. Retina recognition offers an astounding one in 10,000,000 comparative accuracy ratio while iris imaging offers a slightly lesser comparative accuracy ratio at one in 131,000. This puts the two at the top of the list in comparative accuracy when it comes to the common biometric methods. Although both have their clear advantages

is an unavoidable need, and hence for user- authentication Biometric systems are widely used. Biometric technologies are becoming the foundation for highly secure identification and personal verification solutions./ Biometric applications have the potential to offer much more robust authentication/identification security than traditional systems (eg: passwords or pass codes ,PINs , tokens). The main goal of applying biometrics to user authentication is to provide security to users and detect

Biometric Authentication and Applications. Unlike traditional authentication techniques, e.g., PIN code or password, biometrics provides an alternative yet natural way for personal identity authentication. Biometrics handles authentication of individuals on the basis of biological and/or behavioural characteristics (measurements of the human body). As a primary advantage, biometric features are typically unique and, therefore, cannot be misplaced and forgotten since these are always inherently associated

automatically identifying or verifying a person from a digital image or a video frame from a video source. One of the ways to do this is by comparing selected facial features from the image and a facial database. It is typically used in security systems and can be compared to other biometrics such as fingerprint or eye iris recognition systems. ------------------------------------------------- Techniques Traditional Some facial recognition algorithms identify facial features by extracting landmarks, or features, from an image of
