Feb 26, 2013 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- Biometrics is a technique to identify one or more individuals by way of physiological traits or behavioral characteristics.

Of the several techniques available such as hand geometry, iris/retinal scan, signature identification, keystroke dynamics/typing rhythms, face and voice recognition, fingerprinting is the most popular. The role of fingerprint authentication has grown considerably due to the rapid advancements in Internet technology and a significant increase in the number of web users.
