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 were first used to?
Biometrics were first used to track local nationals overseas.
How are biometrics helpful?
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.
What are the applications of biometrics?
Applications of biometrics are broadly classfied into three categories: 1. Forensic Applications; 2. Government Applications and 3. Commercial Applicatuions
What are the instruments used in biometrics?
Fingerprint readers, facial recognition, speech recognition... anything really that can be used to uniquely identify a person, in the way of the physcial structure can be used for biometrics.
