REDEFINING SECURITY- BIOMETRIC AUTHENTICATION SYSTEM

Tamirah Sharieff, Zoya Harmain, Sarah Smyrline, Shafiya Noorain

Abstract


Biometric security has developed into a cutting- edge technology in security enhancement, particularly excelling in authentication and access control within the banking, healthcare, and government sectors. This innovative approach utilizes unique anatomical and behavioural characteristics, biometric imprints, facial analysis, iris patterns, and voice processing, rendering it more effective and practical than traditional password systems. The ongoing study focuses to assess the fundamental principles underlying security using biometric systems and examine their effectiveness in preventing unauthorized access and identity theft while facilitating user authentication. Additionally, it addresses critical concerns related to privacy, the necessity for data protection, and the risks posed by spoofing attacks. The discussion includes countermeasures against these threats, highlighting recent advancements in encryption, multimodal biometrics, and artificial intelligence. Furthermore, it explores emerging trends in the development of security using biometric systems as a foundational element of contemporary cybersecurity outlines.
