Biometric systems
Biometric systems are techniques used to identify and authenticate a person based on their unique biological characteristics. They are often used in security and access control (SKUD) systems. Unlike traditional passwords, cards, or PIN codes, biometric systems provide identification based on a person's physical or behavioral characteristics, which greatly increases security.
Basic biometric technologies:
Fingerprint Scanner:
One of the most common biometric technologies. Each person's fingerprint is unique and is used for identification.
In most cases, special scanners are used to read fingerprints.
Widely used: offices, homes, banks and other places where security is required.
Face recognition:
Facial recognition technology reads the geometry of the face (eyes, nose, mouth position and other points) through cameras and compares it with pre-stored data.
It works quickly and accurately, and can also work remotely.
Widely used in airports, banks, government and public places.
Pupil or iris scanner:
The iris of the eye is unique in each person, and this technology allows it to be scanned with high accuracy.
It provides more security than fingerprints, because it is more difficult to forge the raduzha screen.
It is often used in places where privacy is required or in high security facilities.
Voice recognition:
The human voice is also unique and can be identified based on its acoustic properties.
Mainly used in call centers, banking services or voice assistants.
Palm vein scanner:
This technology scans the veins in a person's palm using special infrared rays.
The internal veins of the palm are unique to everyone, which makes this technology very reliable.
It is used in institutions that require a high level of security, such as banks or research centers.
Determining gait:
This technology is based on the way a person walks. Each person's walking patterns are unique and are tracked and analyzed by cameras.
This technology is relatively new, but is used to increase security in public areas.
Advantages of biometric systems:
High security: Since biometric data is unique to an individual, it is almost impossible to lose, forget or steal it.
Convenience: No need to remember or carry cards, passwords or other means of identification.
Speed: Biometric identification is done quickly and efficiently, which reduces waiting time.
Access Control: Often used in integration with SKUD systems, allowing full access control.
Applications of biometric systems:
Offices and businesses: Biometric systems are widely used to control employee access and timekeeping.
Banks: Biometric security systems are used to access customer accounts or safe deposit boxes.
Airports: Used for passenger identification and security purposes.
Government Institutions: Control access to specific areas through face, fingerprint or eye scanners.
