Biometric Technology:_
Biometric Technology today is the most established source of authentication. A unique and valuable aspect of Biometric Technology Today is the in-depth Market Survey.
The word biometric means life measurement which is derived from two Greek words:
1.Bios means life
2.metric means measurement
The technology behind this biometric is to determine a person’s identity by measuring person’s behavioral or physical statistics. Biometrics is the high technology that refers to a particular class of identification. These technologies use an individual's unique biological traits to determine one's identity. These biological traits are fingerprint, face recognition, DNA, Palm print, hand geometry, iris recognition, retina and many more.
Biometric characteristics can be divided in two main classes:
1.Behavioral biometrics
2.Physical biometrics
1. Physical biometrics measures the inherent physical characteristics of the person. It can be used for either identification or verification. It is related to the shape of the body, which includes fingerprint, face ...
... recognition, DNA, Palm print, hand geometry, iris recognition, which has largely replaced retina, and odor/scent.
2. Behavioral are related to the behavior of a person. It basically measures the characteristics of the person. Examples are typing rhythm, gait, and voice.

Biometric is the most secure and convenient authentication tool. Formula One Solutions is among the most expertise solution provider using this technology.
•Fingerprint identification:-
Fingerprint identification technology is the most unique identification technology. More recently this process is automated (i.e. Biometric). The technology assures system performance with fast, reliable fingerprint matching in 1-to-1 and 1-to-many modes. The two main categories of fingerprint matching techniques are minutiae based matching and pattern matching. Pattern matching simply compares two images to see how similar they are. Pattern matching is usually used in fingerprint systems to detect duplicates. The most widely used recognition technique, minutiae based matching because all the manufacturers mainly use optical sensor to collect an image of the fingerprint. This sensor is the most common sensor today.
To collect all the information from finger print machine, software is developed for PC and Web based solutions on Microsoft Windows platforms.

•Face recognition:-
Facial characteristics (the size and shape of facial characteristics, and their relationship to each other). Although this method is the one that human beings have always used with each other, it is not easy to automate it. Typically, this method uses relative distances between common landmarks on the face to generate a unique "face print."

Biometric authentication offers advantages over current security practices. Unlike keys and tokens, biometrics is never lost or stolen. Unlike passwords and PINs, biometrics cannot be forgotten. Because of their security, speed, efficiency and convenience, biometric authentication systems became the standard for access control.
Biometric system can operate in two different modes. One is verification mode which one to one comparison of the captured biometric & the other is smart card verification.
