Authentication by biometric verification is becoming
increasingly common in corporate and public security systems, consumer
electronics and point of sale (POS) applications. In addition to security, the
driving force behind biometric verification has been convenience.
Biometric devices, such as finger scanners, consist of:
• A reader or scanning
device.
• Software that
converts the scanned information into digital form and compares match points .
• A database that
stores the biometric data for comparison.
