INTRODUCTION OF BIOMETRIC SYSTEM
The word biometric can be defined as "life - measure." It is used in security and access control applications to mean measurable physical characteristics of a person that can be checked on an automated basis.
“A biometric system is an automated method for identifying or authenticating the identity of a living person based on a physiological or behavioral characteristic.”
The physiological characteristics are relatively stable, such as a fingerprint, hand silhouette, iris pattern, blood vessel pattern of the retina, or DNA fingerprint. Those biometric traits are essentially fixed and do not change over time.
Behavioral characteristic are more prone to changes depending on factors such as aging, injuries, or even mood.
