Biometrics
Biometrics is a method that automatically recognises or verifies someone’s identity, based on physical or behaviour characteristics. Well-known examples are fingerprint, face and voice verification, and iris recognition.
Where Biometrics can have benefits for you
Biometrics can be used in any field where the identification of a person is of key importance. Typical security applications include:
