In 1999, Hopkins defined biometrics as "the application of computational methods to biological
features,especially with regard to the study of unique biological characteristics of humans."
When we talk about a biometric system, it can be referred to as "a pattern recognition system that makes a personal identification by establishing the authenticity of a specific physiological or behavioral characteristic possessed by the user" (Jain et al., 2000). In simple words, it means that because everyone has unique physical attributes, devices can be programmed to recognize those attributes. A biometrics device uses those unique physical characteristics to identify an individual or to verify their identity for a specific device.
Biometric device is a way to protect, individuals or corporations, from the increasing number of vulnerability that exist in the earlier established methods of security. The unique traits of each individual provide methods of identification that are more secure, indestructible and less easily identifiable. Now days, virtual access includes biometric protection and soon credit card, online banking, online trading, ATMs, and online purchasing are hoping to apply biometric in one way or the other.
The awareness of using biometrics is rising very quickly, and implementation of these technologies is penetrating corporations, governments and most importantly financial institutions. The “International Biometric Group predicts the market for biometrics to rise from $815 million in 2004 to $2.08 billion by 2006 (BTT, 2005)”.As we can see, it clearly shows that the biometric devices will come out as an important security tool over the next several years.
