Personal Identification

Biometric identification technologies collect and analyze unique human traits. A sample is collected from a user, processed into a digital template and stored for later comparisons. Biometrics can be used to verify the identity of an individual or to determine if a record of the person exists in a larger database. In the not-so-distant future, we may access our homes and cars, perform retail transactions, or renew driver's licenses using our physical traits.
