This document discusses biometrics, which uses biological data to identify individuals. It defines biometrics as automated methods of recognizing people based on physiological or behavioral characteristics. The document then outlines various biometric identification methods like fingerprints, face recognition, iris scans, and voice recognition. It discusses applications of biometrics in security, time/attendance tracking, and access control. The advantages of biometrics are also presented, such as convenience and fraud resistance. Potential future applications and the conclusion that biometrics provides both privacy and identity security while decreasing in cost are also summarized.

3. INTRODUCTION
• Biometrics is the science of technology
of measuring and analyzing biological data.
• Biometrics are automated methods of recognizing a
person based on physiological behavioral
characteristics.
• As the level of security decreases and transaction fraud
increases, the need for highly secure identification and
personal verification technologies is more.
• Biometrics-based solutions are able to provide for
confidential financial transactions and personal data

4. IMPORTANCE OF
BIOMETRICS.
 The security is needed in every place.
 Reduce the existing problems, like those which can
be taken, stolen, borrowed are even forgotten.
 Improves convenience, security and privacy.
 The first and most critical link in the security chain.
 Presented to counteract security threats

6. PHYSICAL BIOMETRICS
Finger Print
• A fingerprint in its narrow sense is an
impression left by the friction ridges of a
human finger.
• Fingerprint recognition is possible using
the finger scanner. A fingerprint scanner
has two basic jobs.(get an image,
matches pattern of pre-scanned
images)

7. Face
Face The identification of a person by
their facial image characteristics.
Matching algorithm uses the location
and shape of facial attributes.
Retina
Retina Every eye has its
own totally unique pattern of
blood vessels. Retina scan
machines are fairly
expensive.

8. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Iris The iris is the colored ring of
textured tissue that surrounds the
pupil of the eyes. Iris identification
uses the unique pattern of its texture
to recognize an individual.
Hand Geometry This method
uses hand images for person
identification. Person using
identification hand geometry
utilizes hand images to extract a
number of features such as
finger length, width, thickness
and finger area etc.

9. BEHAVIOURAL
CHARACTERISTICS

10. APPLICATION OF BIOMETRICS
Security
• Government agencies
• Banks: facial recognition system equipped ATM machines. Airports: Heathrow
airport had Iris recognition Immigration system facilitate frequent travelers.
Time and Attendance Management
• Hospitals
• Banks
Access Control
• Personal computers, phone

11. ADVANTAGES OF
BIOMETRICS :
• Universality
• Measurability
• They are linked to a single individual (unlike a password, which can be used without
authorisation),
• They are very convenient since there is no need to remember or carry anything,
• The security, they are highly fraud resistant.
• Accuracy
• Comfort

12. DISADVANTAGES
OF BIOMETRICS :
• Costly
• Facial imagining can also hinder accurate identifications.
• Missing body part problem.
• False acceptances and rejections.
• The scanning of eye is fearful.
• The nervousness that people feel about the scanners identification.

13. FUTURE PROSPECTS
Biometry is one of the most promising and life-altering technologies in
existence today. It is all set to change the way we live in the future.
Some of the emerging biometrics technologies in the near future are:
• Ear shape identification.
• Body odor identification.
• Body salinity identification.
• EEG fingerprint.
• DNA matching

14. CONCLUSION
• Not perfect yet.
• Successful applications.
• The field of biometrics is evolving.
• Benefit from this technology.
• Decreasing cost and increasing convenience.
• Increasing both privacy and identity security.
