This document discusses biometrics technology, including its history, common types of biometrics like fingerprints, facial recognition, iris scans, and voice recognition. It explains how biometrics are unique physical traits that can be used for identification. Some key benefits of biometrics are that they are unique to each individual, provide time-stamped security, and reduce identity fraud. Examples of biometric applications include access control, time and attendance tracking, and border security in airports. However, biometric systems also have disadvantages like cost, potential for errors, and privacy concerns.

3. three main types of authentication
available today are:
•
something you know, like a password, PIN,
or code.
•
something you have, like a swipe card, smart
card etc.
•
something you are, which is biometrics.

4. What is a biometric?
Biometrics
•
Is the term given to the use of
biological traits
OR
behavioral characteristics
to identify an individual.

5. The Biometric importance

The security is needed in every place.

Eliminate the existing problems, Like
those which can be taken, stolen,
borrowed or even forgotten.

6. The Biometric importance (Cont.)

Improves convenience, security, and privacy.

The first and most critical link in the security
chain.

7. Biometrics History

The term "biometrics" is derived from the Greek words
bio which means
(life)
and metric means
(to measure).

8. Biometrics History (Cont.)

the first known example of biometrics in practice was a
form of finger printing being used in China in the 14th
century.

9. Biometrics History (Cont.)

In the 1890s, 'Bertillonage', created a method of bodily
measurement with the criminals who repeated the
crimes with different names and looks.

10. Biometrics History (Cont.)

After this, finger printing, which was developed
by Richard Edward Henry of Scotland Yard.

11. Physical Characteristics

12. Fingerprint Recognition:

Fingerprint Recognition is the identification by
using patterns of friction ridges and valleys on
an individual's fingertips which are unique to
that individual.

13. Fingerprints being scanned

14. Latent detection

15. Fingerprint Recognition steps:
Database

16. Face Recognition:

Face recognition is scanning a persons face and
matching it with a library of known faces.

17. Face recognition process:
Input face
image
Extraction of
face image
Extraction of
face features
Positive
Database
negative

18. Signature Identification:

Signature identification: is the analyses of the
way a user signs his or her name.

19. Signature Verification Process (Cont.)
•the angle at which the pen is held,
•the number of times the pen is lifted,
•the time it takes to write the entire signature,
the pressure exerted by the person while signing,

21. Iris Identification:

The iris is the colored ring of textured tissue
that surrounds the pupil of the eye.

22. Iris Identification Steps:
Input of face
image
Detection of
eye regions
Put iris in focus
Recognition of
iris pattern
accept
reject
Database

23. Veins Recognition:

Venial Recognition: A system for Identification using
a person’s unique vein patterns.
Veins
as a biometrics tool involve the measurement
of the blood vessels on the back of your hand.

24. Vein Recognition System:
Input of palm

25. Behavioral Characteristics

26. Voice Recognition:

Voice Recognition: is the Identification using
the acoustic features of speech that have been
found to differ between individuals.

27. Voice Identification System
Construct voice

Time and attendance management
Hospitals

31. Other Applications
 Airports:
•

•
Airport (iris recognition)
ATMs:
(face recognition)

32. Other Applications (Cont.)
•
Fujitsu has developed a mouse that can verify a
person's identity by recognizing his pattern of
blood veins.
