Biometrics can be defined as the most practical means of identifying and authenticating individuals reliably and rapidly through unique biological characteristics.
Factors such as increased public acceptance, enhanced accuracy, a diverse range of offerings, and falling prices of sensors, I.P. cameras, and software contribute to the seamless installation of biometric systems.
Types of Biometric Identification
Today, various applications leverage biometric technology, encompassing both physiological and biological measurements.
Morphological identifiers, such as fingerprints, hand shape, finger vein patterns, eye (iris and retina) characteristics, and facial features, fall under the category of physiological measurements.
Biological analyses involve the use of DNA, blood, saliva, or urine, primarily employed by medical teams and police forensics for identification purposes.
The integration of biometric identification systems marks a significant paradigm shift in how individuals engage with digital platforms. This is especially true in the realm of e-commerce.
