Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In an era where digital security is of paramount importance, biometric authentication stands at the forefront of technological advancements, offering a robust alternative to traditional security measures. This Special Issue, “Biometrics-Based Authentication: Advancements and Real-World Implementations,” delves into the cutting-edge developments and real-world applications of biometric technologies. From fingerprint scanning to facial recognition, these methods are rapidly becoming integral components of security systems across various sectors. Biometric sensors play a crucial role in capturing unique individual traits, thus aligning perfectly with the scope of Sensors. This Issue aims to explore the innovative sensor technologies that enable biometric systems to provide reliable and efficient user authentication.
This Special Issue seeks contributions that address the latest sensor technologies in biometrics, their integration into current security frameworks, and the challenges and opportunities they present in the context of real-world implementation. The focus is on how these sensors detect and process unique identifiers, ensuring secure and seamless access control.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
