Abstract Biometrics is a unique and effective security technology that authenticates a person’s identity by verifying personal characteristics. Biometric devices grant users access to programs, systems, or rooms by analyzing some biometric identifier, such as a fingerprint or eye pattern. Two commonly used types of biometric security devices are fingerprint readers and iris recognition systems. A fingerprint reader captures the curves and indentations of a fingerprint. Fingerprint readers can be

Biometrics and finger/palm printing Tara Tatum Team C Introduction In many of the FBI’s high profile cases, one form of technology that has become highly effective is biometrics. The definition of biometrics is the science of measuring and statistically analyzing biological data. This scientific measuring tool is mostly used in identifying individuals whether anatomical or physiological. While fingerprinting is probably one of the oldest and most common forms of biometrics, other forms

existing sample of the same parameter. Biometrics is the science and technology of measuring and statistically analyzing biological data. Biometric technology is defined as automated methods of identifying or authenticating the identity of a living person based on a physiological of behavioral characteristic. Some examples include measures based on information from handwriting, fingerprints, face, voice, retina, iris, hand, ear shape and gait data. A biometric system is a pattern recognition system
