Course 2: Biometric Applications
Biometrics has a place wherever there is a need for identification
or authentication of people. The list of possible uses is
incredible. Just think, every time you use a PIN, password,
swipe card or key, you could use a biometric application instead.
Imagine a world without bankcards, membership cards, keys,
PIN numbers or passwords. Biometrics has the ability to create
such a world. It would be impossible to lose your keys because
YOU ARE THE KEY!
People are thinking up new ways to use biometric technology
everyday but the core uses have remained the same from the
very beginning. The four most common uses for biometric technology
are:
- Time and Attendance
- Access Control
- Password Protection
- Law Enforcement
- Other Applications
