A STUDY ON DEVELOPMENT OF A BIOMETRIC AUTHENTICATION SYSTEMAbstract
This study covers the field of biometric systems focus on biometric authentication systems. A short and general overview of biometric authentication systems gives some insight in how the various biometric data can be used for authentication. The problems of varying biometric data, caused by noise respectively human nature and approaches to solve these problems with multi-biometric systems in combination with information fusion, are also discussed. Since there is such a vast range of variances for the usage of biometric systems, some type of statistics is determined. Biometrics is the measurement of biological data. The term biometrics is commonly used today to refer to the authentication of a person by analyzing physical characteristics, such as fingerprints, or behavioral characteristics, such as signatures. Since many physical and behavioral characteristics are unique to an individual, biometrics provides a more reliable system of authentication than ID cards, keys, passwords, or other traditional systems. The word biometrics comes from two Greek words and means life measure. To provide a comprehensive survey, we not only categorize existing biometric techniques but also present detailed of representative methods within each category. Physical characteristics commonly used in biometric authentication include face, fingerprints, handprints, eyes, and voice. Another program compares this pattern with the one representing the user that was recorded earlier and stored in the system database.
