    Fingerprint Bio Metrics 4

    Uploaded by

    Afroz Hny
    Biometrics are defined as using unique physiological or behavioral characteristics to verify identity. They are more effective than passwords as they cannot be lost or stolen. Popular biometrics include fingerprints, iris scanning, and facial recognition. Iris recognition is considered very reliable as iris patterns are extremely complex and remain stable for life.
