Description
Summary:Biometric has been vastly used in security systems in the rapid development of computer applications today. There are several means of Biometric used in security that are unique tophysical characteristics of human being. They are Fingerprint identification, Hand Geometry, Iris/Retinal scan,Facial scan, Voice recognition, Digital signatureand others. These various approaches have different level of security and uses. For instance, fingerprint identification is one of the most secured biometric that hasbeen widely used over the years. A fingerprint consists of tiny ridges, whorls and valley patterns which are unique among humans. Fingerprints are differentiated by minutia points found on the ridges. The two most common types of minutia are known as termination and bifurcation points.
