We included a high-level overview of the most popular biometric technologies to give you solid knowledge on this challenging subject. Fingerprint, hand geometry, iris recognition, facial recognition and other choices are explained. The difference between passive and active biometric systems is also covered.

Biometric products can be used in a stand-alone mode, connected to a central database or employ contactless smartcards to carry the bio data for the cardholder. Advantages and liabilities of each technology and each method of deployment are covered in an informative and unbiased manner. Biometrics will no longer be a mystery.
