Biometrics is means of using parts of the human body as a kind of permanent password.

Using biometrics, devices can be empowered with the ability to instantly verify your identity and deny access to everybody else. Tokens, such as smart cards, magnetic stripe cards, and physical keys can be lost, stolen, or duplicated. Forgotten passwords and lost smart cards make life difficult for users and waste the expensive time of system administrators. In biometrics the concerned person himself is the password, as biometrics authentication is based on the identification of an intrinsic part of a human being. In this seminar I shall explain about biometrics and the two types of biometric currently used widely that is Fingerprint and Iris recognition
