Biometric

What is Biometric?

Biometric verification is any means by which a person can be uniquely identified by evaluating one or more distinguishing biological traits. Unique identifiers include fingerprints, hand geometry, earlobe geometry, retina and iris patterns, voice waves, DNA, and signatures. The oldest form of biometric verification is fingerprinting.

Biometric verification has advanced considerably with the advent of computerized systems, allowing for almost instantaneous personal identification
