Exploring the Use of Biometric Technology in Enhancing Security: A Survey of Current Applications and Future Implications

Allocating a security to any data of an individual which is predefined is complicated. Biometric is more popularly used technology to recognise an actual user. Biometric practically gives trusted security against data pilfering. Biometrics assist to examine the unique identification of an individual. Commonly used biometric techniques are iris, fingerprint, palmprint and face identification. In some realistic circumstances, biometric techniques fail to achieve requirements in providing security. One of the problem in biometric is spoofing. Malicious user illegally get access to actual data of an user by replicating biometric predefined data. In this survey, we have analysed how biometric plays an vital role in the field of identification and verification of an individual and we have go through various research papers, compared the methods used to provide security to biometric device and biometric data.
