Biometric Authentication is a security process that relies on the unique biological characteristics of individuals to verify their identity. It uses physical or behavioral traits, such as fingerprints, iris patterns, facial features, voice patterns, or hand geometry, to authenticate users. Biometric authentication is often employed in access control systems, mobile devices, and computer security systems as a more secure and reliable alternative to traditional authentication methods like passwords or PINs.
