Understanding Biometrics
Biometrics are methods of authenticating the identity of person based on physiological or behavioral characteristics. Biometric fingerprint authentication refers to technology that measure and analyzes human physical characteristics for identification and authentication purposes.
Everyone is known to have their own unique individual fingerprints. The individuality of each fingerprint can be determined by the pattern of ridges and furrows on the surface of the finger as well as by the minutiae points. Minutiae points are local ridge characteristics that occur at either a ridge bifurcation or a ridge ending.
The biometric scanner is a sensitive device that requires care not to damage the device. In addition, it is recommended that you practice the authentication process several time in order to become comfortable with the process.
