Biometrics are body measurements and calculations related to human characteristics and features. Biometric authentication (or realistic authentication) is used in computer science as a form of identification and access control. It is also used to identify individuals in groups that are under surveillance.
Biometric spoofing is a method of fooling [7] a biometric identification management system, where a counterfeit mold is presented in front of the biometric scanner. This counterfeit mold emulates the unique biometric attributes of an individual so as to confuse the system between the artifact and the real biological target and gain access to ...
There are four types of fingerprint scanners: [7] optical scanners, capacitance scanners, ultrasonic scanners, and thermal scanners.The basic function of every type of scanner is to obtain an image of a person's fingerprint and find a match for it in its database.
Facial recognition software at a US airport Automatic ticket gate with face recognition system in Osaka Metro Morinomiya Station. A facial recognition system [1] is a technology potentially capable of matching a human face from a digital image or a video frame against a database of faces.
Hand geometry is a biometric that identifies users from the shape of their hands. Hand geometry readers measure a user's palm and fingers along many dimensions including length, width, deviation, and angle and compare those measurements to measurements stored in a file.
The Biometric Consortium is a US government sponsored consortium created by the National Security Agency (NSA) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). [1] It serves as the US government focal point for the research, development, testing, evaluation and application of biometric -based personal authentication technology.
Fingerprint Cards is a Swedish biometrics company that develops and produces biometric systems. Fingerprint Cards was founded in 1997 by Lennart Carlson. Their products consist of fingerprint sensors, algorithms, packaging technologies and software for biometric recognition. [2]
This technology has also been opened to rural areas that have many unbanked and underbanked residents.
