 The function of biometric technologies is to facilitate controlled access to personal computers, applications, networks and physical facilities. A biometric authentication system is a method of ascertainment a person’s identity by comparing a specific biological or physical characteristic to the electronically stored characteristic called a biometric. The main factor for implementing a biometric authentication system is that it cannot be hacked by hackers; it can’t be shared, lost or guessed. A biometric authentication system is an efficient way to replace the traditional password-based authentication system. While there are many possible biometrics, at least eight mainstream biometric authentication technologies have been deployed or pilot-tested in applications in the public and private sectors and are grouped into two groups: 1. Contact Biometric Technologies • fingerprint, • hand/finger geometry, • dynamic signature verification, and • keystroke dynamics 2. Contactless Biometric Technologies • facial recognition, • voice recognition • iris scan, • retinal scan Contact Biometric Technologies
