INTRODUCTION
Biometrics are automated methods of recognizing
a person based on behavioral or physiological characteristics.Among
the features measured are face,finger prints,hand
geometry,handwriting,iris,retinal,vein and voice.Biometrics
technologies are becoming the foundation of an extensive array of
highly secure identification and personal verification solutions.As the
level of securtity breaches and transaction fraud increases,the need
for highly secure identification and personal verification technologies
is becoming apparent.Biometric based solutions are able to provide for
confidential financial transactions and personal data privacy.The need
for biometrics can be found in federal,state and local governments,in
the military and in commercial applications.Enterpise-wide network
security infrastructures,government IDs ,secure electronics banking
,investing and other financial transactions,retail sales,law
enforcement,and health and social services are already benefiting
from these technologies.
BIOMETRICS HISTORY
Biometrics are being used by human as early as prehistoric
TYPES
Behavioral Biometrics -used for verification.
1. Speaker recognition.
2. Signature varification.
3. Keystroke dynamics.
.Physical Biometrics -used for identification
1. Fingerprints.
2. Face recognition.
3. Hand geometry.
4. Retinal scan.
PRINCIPLE OF
BIOMETRICS
Although the various biometric technologies
vary in what and how they scan,the principle of operation is
very similar.A biometric system is a real time identification
system which identifies a person by measuring a particular
physical or behavioral characterstics belonging to many
people.Biometrics devices consist of a reader or scanning
device,software that converts the scanned information into
digital form,and wherever the data is to be analyzed,a
database that stores the biometrics data for comparison with
previous records.When converting the biometric input,the
software identifies specific point of data as match points.The
match point are processed using an algorithm into a value
that can be compared with biometrics data scanned when a
user tries to gain access.
FUNCTIONS
A biometrics system can provide the following two functions:
Verification:-Authenticates its users in conjuction with a

CONCLUSION
The Bluetooth technology that
propels us into a new dimension in wireless
connectivity. It is important to surround
yourself with the right kind of people .
Bluetooth is a new standard developed by
group of electronic manufacturers , that will
allow any sort of electronic equipment to
make its own connection without wires ,
cables or any direct action from users.
CONCLUSION
Biometrics can only be
limited to ones immagination.Biometrics
technology is now being used in almost every
area.Various biometrics system are also used
to boost security and safty
functionalities.Although this list or seminar is
no way complete against biometrics.It is a
single way or an effort to list a few popular
biometric application.
