This document discusses biometrics and how biometric systems work. It defines biometrics as using physiological or behavioral characteristics to identify individuals uniquely. Common biometric types include fingerprints, iris scans, hand geometry, and facial recognition. Biometric systems work by enrollment, where a biometric sample is captured and stored as a template, and authentication, where a new sample is compared to stored templates. The document also covers biometric standards, advantages like increased security over passwords, disadvantages like privacy concerns, and applications for access control and verification.

3. INTRODUCTION
Biometric technology makes use of a person's
physiological or behavioral characteristics in
identification. Every human being is unique in
nature and possesses physical parts
completely different from any other person.

4. WHAT IS BIOMETRICS?
"Biometrics refers to the automatic
identifications of a person based on his or
her physiological or behavioral
characteristics" (Chirillo and Blaul 2003). It
is an authorization method that verifies or
identifies a user based on what they are
before authorizing access.

6. HOW BIOMETRICS SYSTEMS WORK
"A biometric system is essentially a pattern-
recognition system that makes a personal
identification by determining the authenticity of a
specific physiological .
Biometrics has so far been developed to work in
two ways mainly verification and identification.

7. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The research methodology designed for
this dissertation is mainly the qualitative
approach. A quantitative approach has
been overlooked due to limited time as
designing surveys.

8. BIOMETRICS AND ACCESS CONTROL
 Over the years, biometrics has evolved rapidly and many
vertical markets such as governments, transport, financial
sectors, security, public justice and safety, healthcare and many
more have adopted biometrics.
 Biometrics has been of high benefit to organization as they seek
a reliable security method to safeguard assets. Fully
understanding how biometrics work, it can be said that the
ultimate aim of applying .

9. WHAT ARE BIOMETRIC STANDARDS
 The growth of the biometric industry has been relatively slowed
by the absence of industry wide standards and this has also
impeded various types of biometric deployment.
 However in an effort to actively address the standards issue, the
biometric industry has finalized some blueprints and the process
of getting industries to accept these standards is ongoing

10. BIOMETRICS AND PRIVACY
The fact that biometric technologies are
based on measuring physiological or
behavioral and archiving these data has
raised concerns on privacy risks, and also
raised discussion on the role biometrics
play when it comes to privacy.

11. ADVANTAGES OF BIOMETRIC
 Password and PINs have been the most frequently used
authentication method. Their use involves controlling access to
a building or a room, securing access to computers, network,
the applications on the personal computers and many more.
Due to some problems related to these methods, the suitability
and reliability of these authentication technologies have been
questioned especially in this modern

12. DISADVANTAGES OF BIOMETRICS
 Biometric technologies can either be physiological or behavioral.
Physical biometrics includes fingerprint, facial recognition, hand
geometry, iris scan, and retina scan. Voice recognition,
signature and keystroke are all examples of behavioral
biometrics. The commonly used biometrics are briefly described
below.

13. FINGERPRINTING BIOMETRIC
 Fingerprints have been used by humans for personal
identification and access control for centuries. The matching
accuracy using the biometric type has shown very high figure.
Fingerprints of even identical twins are different and so are the
prints on each finger of the same person which increases the
rate of accuracy.

14. HAND-SCAN
 Hand -scan is one of the most established biometric
technologies. It has been in use for years in several applications
especially for verification of individuals.
 Although hand-scan geometry biometrics is still a technology
that is growing slowly, biometric market.

15. VERIFICATION
 Verification:-
Comparing a sample against a single stored
template is called verification.

16. CONCLUSION
Technology is growing rapidly, but at
the same time security braches and
transactions frauds are also in the
increase world over.
All agencies including libraries who
are in need of security and safety
have to adopt biometric.
