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.
