New Access Control Technologies: Biometric Identification
Purdue Ect Team · 2007
Biometrics are computerized methods of recognizing people based on physical or behavioral characteristics. The main biometric technologies include face recognition, fingerprint, hand geometry, iris, palm prints, signature and voice. Biometric technologies can work in two modes – authentication (one-to-one matching) and identification (one-to-many) matching. However, only three biometrics are capable of the latter – face, finger and iris.
