Biometric Reader

Hello sir I would like to know about the biometric reader so please provide me suitable information about this technology.

Biometrics refers to metrics related to human characteristics. Biometrics authentication is used in computer science as a form of identification and access control.

Advantages of biometrics

Identification using biometric characteristics is preferred over traditional passwords and PIN based methods for various reasons,

Identification based on biometric fingerprint scanning removes the need to remember a password or carry a token.

Biometric options are also more cost effective as individuals can be easily removed from the system at no extra cost.

Whereas in card based systems the organisation will have to issue a new card to all newcomers.

Fingerprint Recognition

Everyone has a unique, unchanging fingerprint.

A fingerprint is made of a series of ridges and furrows on the surface of the finger and these are used to determine the uniqueness of the fingerprint.

Once registered on the fingerprint scanner, the image of these patterns is converted into a code through a mathematical sequence called an algorithm which effectively becomes a digital form of you.

This is stored on a database for comparison which grants authentication and access through the secured door.
