BIOMETRICS >>>>>>>>>Biometrics refers to methods for uniquely recognizing humans based upon one or more intrinsic physical or behavioral traits.

Physiological are related to the shape of the body. Examples - fingerprint, face recognition, DNA, hand and palm geometry, iris recognition

Behavioral are related to the behavior of a person. Examples include, but are not limited to typing rhythm, gait, and voice. Some researchershave coined the term behaviometrics for this class of biometrics. biometrics uses who you are to identify you

BIOMETRICS >>>>>>>>>Universality – each person should have the characteristic.

Uniqueness – is how well the biometric separates individuals from another.

Permanence – measures how well a biometric resists aging.

Collectability – ease of acquisition for measurement.

Performance – accuracy, speed, and robustness of technology used.

Acceptability – degree of approval of a technology

BIOMETRICS >>>>>>>>>

In the 14th century. Chinese merchants were stamping children’s palm prints and

In the 1890s, an anthropologist and police desk clerk in Paris named Alphonse Bertillon developed a method of multiple body measurements which got named after him (Bertillonage). It was used to identify criminals

Later Finger printing, which was developed by Richard Edward Henry of Scotland Yard, essentially reverting to the same methods used by the Chinese for years.

Finger printing was also practiced and developed in British India

Biometrics has been around as a commercial technology since the early 1970s when the first commercially available device was brought into the market

The Govt. of India plans to introduce UID(unique identity cards) cards that will have Biometric fingerprints on them. A team headed by Nandan Nilekani is working towards introducing these cards in 2010
