ABSTRACT FOR SEMINAR
BIOMETRIC SECURITY TECHNOLOGY
Biometrics is the science for measurements of physical or biological characteristics of an individual to create a unique identifier which can be electronically stored, retrieved and compared for positive identification purposes. Biometrics includes automated methods of recognizing a person based on a physiological or behavioural characteristic. They include fingerprints, retinal and iris scanning, hand and finger geometry, voice patterns, facial recognition and other techniques.
The biometric technologies are becoming the foundation of an extensive array of highly secure identification, personal verification and access solutions. Biometrics is expected to be incorporated in solutions for improving airport security, in travel documents, passports and visas, and in preventing thefts.
Biometric systems work by converting data derived from behavioural or physiological characteristics into templates, which are used for subsequent matching. This is a multi stage process whose stages are enrolment, submission, acquisition device, biometric sample, feature extraction, template, matching, score, threshold and decision.
