Biometrics: A versatile technology

It is an established technology which can be based on several technologies: fingerprints, 2D face, 3D face, iris, retina, voice, venous network, shape of the hand, behavioural (dynamic signature, keystroke, navigation on a tablet or smartphone, way of walking).

For an even more robust authentication system, several biometric (multimodal) methods can be combined simultaneously. However, the improvement in security resulting from the use of biometrics should not infringe individual freedoms.

Biometric applications are generally associated with other security technologies such as smart cards or encryption.
