Biometrics is the use of an automated system to verify the identity of someone by looking at physiological or behavioral characteristics. Biometric technologies are becoming the foundation of an extensive array of highly secure identification and personal verification solutions. With identity theft and fraudulent activity on the rise, biometric-based solutions provide increased security and confidentiality for personal data and financial transactions.

More secure than PIN numbers, passwords, social security numbers and signatures, biometrics is an easy, secure way to recognize an individual based on his/her unique physical traits.

Because this form of technology cannot be copied or forged, it is commonly used for personal identification and verification solutions—especially in the heightened security business world of today. Traits often measured include hand geometry, handwriting, iris, facial, voice and fingerprints, fingerprints being the most common.

These solutions are often used in federal, state and local governments, the military and commercial applications along with enterprise-wide network security infrastructures, secure electronic banking, investing and other financial transactions, retail sales, law enforcement and health and social services.
