The Application of Biometrics

From the Paper:

"During the past decade, the science of biometrics has matured into an industry that offers real world solutions to serious problems faced by corporations, academia, and government agencies. The evolution of information technology and global competition has revolutionized the way transactions are completed. Traditional methods, such as pencil and paper, face-to-face meetings, or postal services, are being increasingly replaced by electronic transactions. The growth in electronic transactions has resulted in a greater demand for fast and accurate user identification and authentication. Compared to more antiquated but familiar and traditional identification methods (producing drivers license or showing a birth certificate), biometrics are the only tools that can enhance personal privacy, efficiency, and still deliver effective solutions in situations that require confirmation of identity. Clearly, the marketplace has begun to accept biometrics as a better alternative to less secure screening and identity verification processes."
