Biometrics

Biometrics, simply put, refers to the growing field of technology that is dedicated to the identification of individuals using biological traits, such as those based on fingerprints, retinal or iris scanning or face recognition. Biometrics has become a reality since the ability to prove ones identity has become an integral part of daily life. The field of biometrics is growing at an unbelievable rate and will be a part of everyone’s lives in the near future.

Fingerprint Matching:

Among the various biometric techniques, fingerprint-based identification is the oldest method that has been successfully used. Each individual has a unique, individual fingerprint. A fingerprint is made of a series of ridges and furrows on the surface of the finger. The uniqueness of a fingerprint can be determined by the pattern of ridges and furrows as well as the minutiae points.

No two fingerprints are alike, just as there are no two individuals alike. When questions arise in the future as to an individual's identity, the use of biometric technology will be able to accurately identify a person. 

So now when you hear about the future of biometrics, you can rest assured that this beneficial technology may someday be used to prove that you really are who you claim to be. Just imagine all of the uses for this technology - unlocking the front door to your home by placing your finger on a fingerprint scanner is already available today. The ways in which biometrics will be used in the future are only limited by one’s imagination..
