This document discusses biometrics as an advanced technology for security and authentication. It describes different methods of biometric verification including fingerprint, retina scan, DNA analysis, typing patterns, signatures, and voice recognition. Biometrics can be used for identification by searching biometric databases or for verification by matching a submitted biometric to an existing record. While biometrics provide strong security, they also have limitations such as high costs, storage requirements, and potential for data loss affecting the security system.
