characteristics




1) Physiological
2) Behavioral

Physical biometrics

Fingerprint

Facial recognition/face location

Hand geometry

Iris scan

Retina scan

Fingerprint recognition
A live acquisition of a
persons fingerprint.
Dots (very small ridges),
Space between two
temporarily divergent ridges),
Spurs (a notch protruding
from a ridge),
Bridges (small ridges joining
two longer adjacent ridges),
crossovers (two ridges that
cross each other).

Facial Recognition
1. Capture image

2. Find face in image

3. Extract features
(store template)

4. Compare templates

5. Declare matches
Hand or finger geometry is an automated
measurement of many dimensions of the hand and
fingers.
Hand Geometry
Iris recognition
Iris scanning measures the iris
pattern in the colored part of the
eye,
Retina recognition




Images back of the eye
and compares blood
vessels with existing data



Behavioral biometrics

Speaker/voicerecognition

Signature/handwriting

Keystroke/patterning


Speaker / Voice Recognition

Voice or speaker recognition uses vocal characteristics
to identify individuals using a pass-phrase.

A telephone or microphone can serve as a sensor,
Signature Verification
An automated method of measuring an individuals
signature.

This technology examines speed,direction, and pressure
of writing; the time that the stylus is in and out of
contact with the paper.

Keystroke dynamics
Keystroke dynamics is an automated method of examining an
individuals keystrokes on a keyboard.







This technology examines such dynamics
as speed and pressure, the total time taken to type particular
words, and the time elapsed between hitting certain keys.
Prevent unauthorized access to ATMs, Cellular phones
Desktop PCs

Criminal identification

In automobiles biometrics can replace keys with keyless
entry devices

Airport security
APPLICATIONS
Conclusion

Biometric is an emerging area with many
opportunities for growth.

Possibly in the near future, you will not have
to remember PINs and passwords and keys in
your bags or pockets will be things of the past.
