biological or behavioral property of an individual that can be measured and from which distinguishing ,repeatable biometric features can be extracted for the purpose of automated recognition of indivisuals.
Biometrics
Biometrics is the science of characteristics that are unique to each individual - such as fingerprints or irises. Biometrics is often used by: companies, governments, military, border control, hospitals, banks, etc. to either verify a person's identity ie: allowing access to a certain building area, computer files, border crossings, or to identify individuals to retain information about them ie: criminals, forensics, etc.
Biometrics were first used to track local nationals overseas.
Biometrics can be divided into two broad categories: physiological and behavioral. Behavioural biometrics are based on (hopefully) unique ways people do things such as walking, talking, signing their name, or typing on a keyboard (speed, rhythm, pressure on the keys, etc). By contrast, physiological biometrics are based on a person's physical characteristics which are assumed to be relatively unchanging such as fingerprintss, iris patterns, retina paterns, facial features, palm prints, or hand geometry. We all use a form of physiological biometrics when we recognize our friends and aquaintances. You know what they look like and sound like so you are usually able to recognize them when you see them or hear them. Turning those characteristics into reproducable electronic data is quite an art however and no perfect system has yet been developed that is absolutely foolproof - although some are pretty good.
Biometrics are helpful tools for security and identity verification. They are especially useful to establish the identity where a person might be stranger to the other, for example huge databases like banks. Biometrics identify on the basis of features unique to an individual, like signature, finger print, iris etc. These are difficult to forge. Biometrics used in home doors do not require carrying a key, or the fear of the key getting stolen. Biometrics are also used to identify criminals and determine their identity.

BIOMETRICS uses physical characteristics to identify people. For e.g. Fingerprint Scanning, Retina Scan & Face Scan.
