Biometrics: You As Your Own Password

Everyday life is getting more complicated, especially the need to remember an ever-growing number of different passwords, PIN numbers and lock combinations. Couple that with the need today for accurate person identification and verification.

Biometrics uses a unique physical attribute of your body, such as your fingerprint or iris, to identify and verify you. Although biometrics has been around awhile, modern advances in miniaturization, coupled with big reductions in cost, has made biometrics now available to the average consumer and business owner. In addition, biometrics is often used with RFID in smart badges.
