Every human being has experience in recognizing a familiar person based on his/her
specific characteristics, like voice, face, gait, handwriting, signature and so on. Some
people, more than others, have even the ability to recognize unknown persons, after
having seen or heard them. In the era of networked society,
there as increasing need for reliable personal identification by automatic means. Establishing
the identity of individuals is recognized as fundamental not only in numerous
governmental, legal or forensic operations, but also in a large number of civilian applications.
This has resulted in the establishment of a new research and technology
area known as biometric recognition, or simply biometrics.

The term “biometrics” refers to automatic recognition of an individual based on behavioral
and/or anatomical characteristics (e.g., fingerprints, face, iris, voice, signature, etc.).
A biometric system essentially makes use of behavioral or anatomical characteristics
to recognize individuals by means of pattern recognition techniques and statistical
methods. Biometric systems offer greater convenience and several advantages over traditional security
methods based on something that you know (normally a secret password or PIN, which
can be shared, forgotten or copied) or something that you have (a physical object that
is presented to receive access, such as keys, magnetic cards, identity documents, etc.,
which can be shared, stolen, copied or lost). Without sophisticated means, biometrics
are difficult to share, steal or forge and cannot be forgotten or lost. Therefore, this
latter solution provides a higher security level in identity prove. In addition, the combination
of possession and knowledge with biometrics makes the identity proof even
more secure.
