Biometrics is the process of automated recognition of individuals based on their behavioral and physiological characteristics. Physiological biometric traits include face and retina structures, fingerprint (whorls minutia), hand geometry, iris (pattern), ear (structure of the cartilaginous tissue of the pinna), palm vein and DNA structures etc.whereas Behavioral biometric traits include gait patterns, signatures, keystroke and odor etc. Unlike other identification methods such as id proof, tokens and password, the distinct aspect of biometric recognition comes into light from randomly distributed features in human being. Biometrics is one of the biggest tendencies in human identification. Biometric systems also introduce an aspect of user convenience; it means one can be authorized by representing himself or herself. Nowadays, biometrics is widely being used in many real life applications like security, forensic, and other identification and recognition purposes. In this paper, the main focus is on working principle of biometric technique, the various biometrics systems and their comparisons.

Abstract


Biometrics is the process of automated recognition of individuals based on their behavioral and physiological characteristics. Physiological biometric traits include face and retina structures, fingerprint (whorls minutia), hand geometry, iris (pattern), ear (structure of the cartilaginous tissue of the pinna), palm vein and DNA structures etc.whereas Behavioral biometric traits include gait patterns, signatures, keystroke and odor etc. Unlike other identification methods such as id proof, tokens and password, the distinct aspect of biometric recognition comes into light from randomly distributed features in human being. Biometrics is one of the biggest tendencies in human identification. Biometric systems also introduce an aspect of user convenience; it means one can be authorized by representing himself or herself. Nowadays, biometrics is widely being used in many real life applications like security, forensic, and other identification and recognition purposes. In this paper, the main focus is on working principle of biometric technique, the various biometrics systems and their comparisons.
