What are biometrics?

Biometrics refers to the measurement and statistical analysis of people's unique physical and behavioral characteristics. These characteristics—such as fingerprints, facial recognition, iris patterns, and voice—are used to identify individuals with a high degree of accuracy. Biometric systems are commonly used for security purposes, like unlocking smartphones or controlling access to secure facilities. They provide a convenient and reliable way to verify identity, reducing the risk of unauthorized access. As technology advances, biometrics are becoming increasingly integrated into everyday applications.
