BIOMETRIC SECURITY TECHNOLOGY

INTRODUCTION
BIOMETRIC SECURITY TECHNOLOGY

• Biometrics= BIOS+METRON,
(Bios means life and Metron means measure)

• Biometrics refers the statistical analysis of

biological Characteristics.

• Offers promising approach over classical methods.

•Relaxation from remembering anything.

FUTURE SCOPE
• Some Hospitals use Biometrics security System to make Sure
Mothers takes home the right Newborn.

• New Methods that use DNA, Nail bed Structure, Teeth, Ear
Shapes, Body Odour, Skin Patterns and Blood Pulses.

• More Accurate Home-use Systems.

CONCLUSION
On an Overview, Biometric Security Technology is a Reliable, slowly
growing its trust among the population, while securing themselves without
any loss of Data while they being the token of the Security System, But,
While Implementing a Biometric Security System, we must keep the
Following points in Mind,
• Biometric is not Secret, therefore, Cryptographic Keys can be generated.
• Must trust the Biometric Input Devices and make the communication Line
SECURE.
• Input Devices needs to be Verified.
