Question 4

Biometrics

Answer 4

To authenticate a user’s identity, biometrics uses characteristics unique to the individual seeking access. A biometric authentication solution entails two processes.

-Enrollment—during the enrollment process, the user’s registered biometric code is either stored in a system or on a smart card that is kept by the user.
-Verification—during the verification process, the user presents their biometric data to the system so that the biometric data can be compared with the stored biometric code.
