What are Biometrics?

Biometrics are the science of measuring physical or behavioral characteristics that are unique to each individual and also verifies that an individual is who she claims to be.

History of Biometrics• Biometric verification was used thousands of years ago by the people in the Nile valley. They identified individuals through unique scars and a combination of features such as complexion, eye color, and height. They did not use the advanced technological tools we have today, but the basic principles used by them were similar.

•Then in the nineteenth century criminology came up with a variety of measuring devices being produced. The development of fingerprinting became the international methodology among police forces for identity verification.
