Seminar on Biometrics and its applicalication domain

2. Authentication
The process of verifying that a user requesting a
network resource is the one who he/she claims to be, and
vice versa.
Conventional authentication methods
„something that you have“ – key, magnetic card or smartcard
„something that you know“ – PIN or password
Biometric authentication uses personal features
„something that you are“

3. What is biometricsWhat is biometrics ??
Biometrics refers to technologies that
mesures and analyze human body characteristics,
such as DNA, fingerprints,eye retinas and irises,
voice patterns, facial patterns and hand
measurements for authentication purpose.
