The measurement and recording of the physical characteristics of an individual for use in subsequent personal identification
A type of security that grants or denies access to a computer systems through the analysis of fingerprints, retinal patterns in the eye, or other bodily characteristics
is the science and technology of measuring human body characteristics such as fingerprints, eye retinas and irises, voice patterns, facial patterns, and hand measurements Such mesurements can be used to authenticate a computer user, and seem about to emerge as replacements for passwords
The study of biological measurements that can differentiate one individual from another
Field relating to biometric identification EG: What is the future of biometrics?
A general term for the verification of individuals using unique biological characteristics (i e fingerprints, hand geometry, voice analysis, the retinal pattern in the eye)
Use of measurable physiological characteristics to authenticate a user such as fingerprints or facial characteristics
-The identification of a user based on a physical characteristic, such as a fingerprint, iris, face, voice or hand-writing Costs of biometrics authentication systems have been dropping and reliability improving, but many users are still wary of being identified by personal, unchangeable characteristics
– the practice of automatically identifying people by one or more bodily characteristics Bobby – a web site accessibility assessment tool developed by CAST, and located here Browser - the software on a computer that allows websites to be rendered so they can be "read" by users, this maybe a browser that renders things visually, in a manner confined to text only, or in any other manner that may be appropriate, such as voice output Index
branch of biology which deals with its data statistically and by quantitative analysis (8)
An identifier that measures a borrowers unique physical characteristic or behavior and compares it to a stored digital template to authenticate the identity of the borrower Examples include fingerprints, hand or face geometry, a retinal scan, and the borrower's signature
Biometric methods of identification work by measuring unique human characteristics as a way to confirm identity, for example, finger or iris scanning or dynamic signature verification
Userrecognitionsystems to access logical security built into networks using parts of the body instead of passwords Input devices such as hand geometry readers (identify finger prints) and retina scanners (identify an individuals eyeball pattern) see retina scanner hand geometry
The technique of studying physical characteristics of a person such as finger prints, hand geometry, eye structure or voice pattern
The use of a persons physical characteristics such as fingerprints, hand geometry, voice or signature characteristics, eye patterns, and so on, for authentication
A system using software to analyze handwriting, fingerprints, or other biological features to provide authentication of the submitter' s identity
Biometrics utilize "something you are" to authenticate identification This might include fingerprints, retina pattern, iris, hand geometry, vein patterns, voice password, or signature dynamics Biometrics can be used with a smart card to authenticate the user The user's biometric information is stored on a smart card, the card is placed in a reader, and a biometric scanner reads the information to match it against that on the card This is a fast, accurate, and highly-secure form of user authentication
a branch of biology that studies biological phenomena and observations by means of statistical analysis
Electronic capture and analysis of biological characteristics, such as fingerprints, facial structure or patterns in the eye Through advancements in smart cards and cheaper reader prices, biometrics is catching on as a security alternative to passwords
Computing & security The science of biometrics concerns the reading of the measurable, biological characteristics of an individual in order to identify them to a computer or other electronic system Biological characteristics normally measured include fingerprints, voice patterns, retinal and iris scans, faces, and even the chemical composition of an individual's perspiration For the effective "two-factor" security authorization of an individaul to a computer system, normally a biometric measure is used in conjunction with a token (such as a smartcard) or an item of knowledge (such as a password)
Unique human charateristics such as fingerprint, voice and retinal pattern, or signature (1997, Allen)
Using a physical or behavioral characteristic of a person to identify them for security purposes Book suggestion: Biometrics : Advanced Identify Verification: The Complete Guide
The science of using biological properties to identify individuals; for example, finger prints, a retina scan, and voice recognition
the use of a computer user's unique physical characteristics -- such as fingerprints, voice, and retina -- to identify that user
