摘要：B iometrics are an important and widely used method for identityverification and accesscontrol for providing in today's growing computing world . A biometrics is in general term used to describe a measurable physiological and/or behavioral characteristic that can be used fo r automated recognition of an individual based on the individual's physical and behavioral characteristics. As b iometric data is data inherent to one's body, and usually is unique to an individual, it can be used to recognize individual's biometric characteristics, such as fingerprint, face, retina, DNA, ECG and Voice, signature, and many others, for automatically com puterized recognition systems. Biometric systems are commonly used to contr ol access to physical assets like laboratories, b uildings, and cash from ATMs, or logical information like personal computer accoun ts, secure electronic documents.It also determine whether a person is already in a database, important for social service or national ID applications some of which are daily concern . In this system, one need not necessary to remember like passwordsand are not easily lost or forged like identifying documents. However, it is also true that, biometrics are fundamentally noisy and irreplaceable. The proliferation ofbiometric usage raises critical privacyand security concerns due to the noisy nature of biometrics. In this article, we present an overview of B iometrics system and alon g with its security measures
