DEFINITION OF BIOMETRICS

Biometrics refers to the automatic identification

of a person based on his or her physiological or
behavioral characteristics .

Biometric
characteristics

1) Physiological
2) Behavioral

Physical biometrics
Fingerprint
Facial recognition/face location
Hand geometry
Iris scan
Retina scan

Fingerprint recognition
A live acquisition of a
persons fingerprint.
Dots (very small ridges),
Space between two
temporarily divergent ridges),
Spurs (a notch protruding
from a ridge),
Bridges (small ridges joining
two longer adjacent ridges),
crossovers (two ridges that
cross each other).

Facial Recognition
1. Capture image
2. Find face in image
3. Extract features
(store template)
4. Compare templates
5. Declare matches

Hand Geometry

Hand or finger geometry is an automated

measurement of many dimensions of the hand and
fingers.

Iris recognition
Iris scanning measures the iris
pattern in the colored part of the
eye,

Retina
recognition

Images back of the eye

and compares blood
vessels with existing data

Behavioral biometrics
Speaker/voicerecognition
Signature/handwriting
Keystroke/patterning

Speaker / Voice Recognition

Voice or speaker recognition uses vocal characteristics
to identify individuals using a pass-phrase.
A telephone or microphone can serve as a sensor,

Signature Verification
An automated method of measuring an individuals
signature.
This technology examines speed,direction, and pressure
of writing; the time that the stylus is in and out of
contact with the paper.

Keystroke dynamics
Keystroke dynamics is an automated method of examining an
individuals keystrokes on a keyboard.

This technology examines such dynamics

as speed and pressure, the total time taken to type particular
words, and the time elapsed between hitting certain keys.

Advantages of Biometrics

Biometrics are generally used for authentication.

It provides higher security .e.g. Iris recognition .
Voice Recognition works well over the telephone
User friendly
e.g. Hand geometry recognization,
finger print recognition.

APPLICATIONS
Prevent unauthorized access to ATMs, Cellular phones
Desktop PCs
Criminal identification
In automobiles biometrics can replace keys with keyless
entry devices
Airport security
In brand new cars

Conclusion
Biometric is an emerging area with many
opportunities for growth.
Possibly in the near future, you will not have
to remember PINs and passwords and keys in
your bags or pockets will be things of the past.
