For the use of statistics in biology, see Biostatistics . Biometrics ( Ancient Greek : ''bios'' ="life", ''metron'' ="measure") is the study of methods for uniquely recognizing humans based upon one or more intrinsic physical or behavioral traits. Some researchers http://www.cilab.upf.edu/biosecure1/public_docs_deli/BioSecure_Deliverable_D10-2-3_b3.pdf , have coined the term behaviometrics for behavioral biometrics such as typing rhythm or mouse gestures where the analysis can be done continuously without interrupting or interfering with user activities. OVERVIEW Biospecies are used to identify the identity of an input sample when compared to a template, used in cases to identify identity or specific objects by certain characteristics.
Standard validation systems often use multiple inputs of samples for sufficient validation, such as particular characteristics of the sample. This intends to enhance security as multiple different samples are required such as security tags and codes and sample dimensions. COMMON HUMAN BIOMETRIC CHARACTERISTICS Biometric characteristics can be divided in two main classes, as represented in figure on the right:
Strictly speaking, ''voice'' is also a physiological trait because every person has a different Pitch , but voice recognition is mainly based on the study of the way a person speaks, commonly classified as behavioral. Other biometric strategies are being developed such as those based on Gait (way of walking), Retina , Hand Veins , Ear Recognition , Facial Thermogram , DNA , Odor and Palm Prints . It is possible to understand if a human characteristic can be used for biometrics in terms of the following parameters
