What are Biometrics?
Biometrics are the science of measuring physical
or behavioral characteristics that are unique to
each individual and also verifies that an
individual is who she claims to be.

History of Biometrics

• Biometric verification was used thousands of
  years ago by the people in the
  Nile valley. They identified individuals through
  unique scars and a combination of features such
  as complexion, eye color, and height. They did
  not use the advanced technological tools we have
  today, but the basic principles used by them were
  similar.
• Then in the nineteenth century criminology came
  up with a variety of measuring devices being
  produced. The development of fingerprinting
  became the international methodology among police
  forces for identity verification.
