Abstract
Biometric authentication technologies are used for the machine identification of individuals. The human-generated patterns used may be primarily physiological or behavioral, but usually contain elements of both components. Examples include voice, handwriting, face, eye and fingerprint identification. In this paper, we look at these technologies and their applications in general, developing a systematic approach to classifying, analyzing and evaluating them. A general system model is shown and test results for a number of technologies are considered.Keywords
