Biometric Security Issues: A Review

As the world is heading towards paperless communication and transaction, the correct and authentic personal recognition is important to ensure that only legitimate users have access to the rendered services or information. Automatic recognition of individuals on the basis of their physiological or behavioral characteristics known as Biometric recognition or biometrics is now frequently used by service providers to authenticate personal recognition. Biometrics makes it possible to recognize the person on the basis of what he has (characteristics) rather than what he possesses (Id cards etc.) This paper provides an insight into various biometric characteristics their advantages, disadvantages, limitations and strengths. A systematic review of literature is carried out to identify future areas of research.
