Assignment title / comparisons between biometric technologies.
First , in the past most of the governments and organizations were using
paper based sign in and sign out systems to identify their employees and
ensure that these employees were already working is that Establishment.
The paper-based system is replaced with biometric system. Introduction
of different types of biometric technology within organizations gives a
highly security system and attendance maintenance solution without
significantly increasing the budget.
First we need to know what is the definition of biometric technology ?
- Biometric technologies :- are physical or behavioral human
characteristics to that can be used to identify a person to grant
access to systems, devices or data .
- Examples of these biometric identifiers are fingerprints, face
recognition, voice recognition and DNA . Each of these identifiers
is unique to the individual, and they may be used in combination to
ensure greater accuracy of identification.
We will compare between these types of biometric authentications
to know the features that differentiate between them so let’s start :
