Security and Management
The biometrics market arose from the need to prevent any risks or damages in various fields and it uses identity authentication
to answer that need. Its uses range from physical control and management including entrance control, diligence management, and
machine access control to security and management in the information industry, including computer security, distance education,
e-commerce, information security, and so on. These days, computer processing of so much important information fosters
information exchange in the cyberspace, and expands e-commerce fields to include online banking. Against this backdrop, the
demand for valid identity authentication is soaring along with the growth of the related businesses.
Convenience
Convenience is one of the greatest advantages of biometrics compared to existing methods of personal authentication such as
keys, identification numbers (ID) and passwords. In other words, everyone can be uniquely identified without the need for an ID,
a magnetic card, a smart card, a key or a personal identification number (PIN). A user can verify each individual by using only
physical traits such as fingerprints and voice. Also, using biometrics, a machine can electronically recognize a user, thereby
enabling its system to allow for the automatic response to that user's request. In short, biometrics is able to deliver both
safety and convenience in the identity verification field, thereby reaping huge economic benefits.
