INTRODUCTION
Information security is concerned with the assurance of
confidentially , integrity and Availability of information in all forms.
This is the ancient Greek word:
bios=“life” and metron=“measure”

DEFINATION
Biometrics refers to the automatic identification of a person based
on his/her physiological or behavioural characteristics.
Terms of biometrics

CHARACTERISTICS

Fingerprint Recognition
This includes the following:
1.Small ridges
2.Spaces between to temporarily divergent ridges
3.Spurs (a notch protruding from a ridges)
4.bridges

Hand geometry
Hand geometry is and automated measurement of
many dimensions of hand.

Iris scanning
Iris scanning measures the iris pattern in the coloured
part of the eye.

VOICE RECOGNITION
Voice Recognition uses vocal characteristics
to identify individuals using a pass phrase.
Telephone or microphone can serve as a
sensor.

SIGNATURE VERIFICATION
An automated method of measuring individual’s signature.
This technology examines speed , direction and pressure while
writing.

KEYSTROKE IDENTIFICATION
It is an automated method of examining an individual’s
key strokes on keyboard.
This technology examines speed . pressure and total
time taken to type particular words.
Also the time elapsed between hitting certain keys.

APPLICATIONS
•Prevent unauthorized access to ATMS, Cellular phones Desktop PCs.
•Criminal identification.
•In automobiles biometrics can replace keys with keyless entry
devices.
•Airport security.

CONCLUSION
•Biometrics is an emerging area with many opportunities for growth.
•Possibly in the near future , you will not have to remember PINs and
passwords and key in your bags or pockets will be things of the past.
