WHAT IS
BIOMETRIC AUTHENTICATION
The word “biometrics” comes
from the Greek language and is derived from the
words bio (life) and metric (to measure).
A little history onBIOMETRICS
Biometric technology includes fingerprints, eyes,
face, hand geometry, handwriting and
voice recognition
Fingerprint scanners are the
most common type of biometric
technology

Benefits of Biometrics
BENEFIT #1EASY IDENTIFICATION
You can compare biometrics amongst millions of records that can be contained in a computer database. The results can be instantaneous
depending on the amount of records that you are comparing the fingerprints to. Employees won’t have
to carry identification cards any longer and can simply use their own fingerprint to identify themselves.
BENEFIT #2See Ya Identity FraudBiometric technology lessens the risk of identity fraud. As a result, many different companies and organizations can save time and money. It is much more difficult to fraud a biometric device than to steal an employee identification card. Someone would have to go to great lengths to hack into a biometric database – let alone replicate a person’s identity.
BENEFIT #3Top-Notch SecurityBiometrics as a whole are tightly connected to
an individual and cannot be forgotten (like passwords), shared (because it’s highly
unlikely for someone to replicate biometrics), stolen (people would really have to come up
with an elaborate plan) or easily hacked.
BENEFIT #4Bye, Bye PasswordsInstead of having to remember a long list of passwords, biometric technology can unlock anything needing a password as authentication. For a business, this saves memory space, documentation and in the end, a whole lot of money.
