3. Introduction To Biometrics
The Term Bio-metrics is derived from the Greek Word bio (life) and metric (to measure)
Techniques applied for verifying and confirming user’s identity
1) something you know, passwords or PIN’s
2) something you have, smart card or ATM card
3) something you are , BIOMETRICS
The system can either be verification or identification
Identification of a person based on the physiological or behavioral characteristics

4. It’s History Historically the term is related to biological sciences
Technology, moved from a single method(fingerprinting) to infinite number of methods
Finger printing is one of the most primitive case and is still being used today
Biometric history in recent past (three decades) has seen drastic advancements

5. Basic Categories Of Biometrics
Physiological
Behavioral
Facial features
Features of the eye
Retina
Iris
Finger prints
Hand geometry
Palm geometry
DNA
Odor/scent
Typing rhythm
Gait
Handwritten signature
Keystrokes/Typing patterns
Voiceprint

6. Types Of Biometrics In Use
Hand/ Finger Geometry:
Fingerprint recognition:
Record of length, width, height of hand/ fingers .
Analyzing fingertip patterns

7. Surveillance: Face recognition: Analyzing the characteristics of
individuals face by
taking digital image.
Techniques used:
Facial geometry Skin pattern
Facial thermo gram Smile
Monitoring the behavior, activities, or other changing information.

8. Iris recognition: Voice or speaker Verification:
Analyzing features of colored
ring of the eye by using techniques
based on high resolution images of
the individuals iris.
Analyzing vocal behavior

9. Current And Future Trends
Smart cards:
Retina recognition:
Signature recognition:
Skin texture analysis:

10. Vein vascular pattern
Keystroke dynamics:
Gait:

11. Lips identification: Ear recognition: DNA matching:
Nail recognition:
Body odour recognition:
your body as password
DNA matching:

12. Block Diagram & Working
2 types of
Authentication
systems:
1) Verification
2) Identification
Working :
Data Collection
Signal Processing
Template Creation
Transmission
Matching

13. Errors Occurring Failure to Capture Error(FCE)
Failure to Enroll Error(FEE)
False Match Error(FME)
False Non Match Error(FNME)
Ranking Error(RE)

14. Applications Forensic Government Commercial Healthcare
Travel and immigration
Medical
Security

15. Advantages Increases security Reduces cost within organizations
Convenience to employees
Replace hard to remember passwords
Can be re-issued
Person himself is the key

16. Drawbacks Working of each device on a particular characteristics
Accuracy of Performance
Failure to enroll rate
May violate privacy
Security requires training
Fingerprints changes with time
Health problems
Voice changes with age

17. Conclusion
Biometrics is uniquely bound to individuals and may offer organizations a stronger method of authentication
Biometrics is a very interesting and exciting field that has be growing exponentially in recent years
The wide variety of physically unique traits which our bodies give us will soon allow us to live in a very secure password-less world
