The document summarizes a biometric authentication system using fuzzy ART. It discusses traditional authentication methods like passwords and smart cards and introduces biometrics which uses physical and behavioral characteristics to identify individuals. These include fingerprints, iris scans, voice recognition, etc. The system aims to provide accurate, efficient, convenient and robust authentication using emerging biometric technologies like gait recognition. It also provides background on adaptive resonance theory and fuzzy logic which are applied in the system for pattern recognition and biometric authentication.
