17. 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.
18. SIGNATURE VERIFICATION
An automated method of measuring an individual's signature.This
technology examines speed, direction, and pressure of writing; the
time that the stylus is in and out of contact with the "paper".
19. KEYSTROKE DYNAMICS
Keystroke dynamics is an automated method of examining an individual's
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.
23. 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.
