Importance and
Significance
More secured, cannot be stolen and changed
Unique, time invariant, acceptable, available
Systems has vendor specific algorithms and
hence proprietoryship
Much useful in public benefit schemes
Can be used in logical and physical networks
Enrollment and presentation – two stages of
operation
Template features
2-5
False match rate
False nonmatch rate
Failure to enrollment rate\
No single metric indicates how well a biometric system or
device performs: Analysis of all three metrics is necessary
to assess the performance of a specific technology.
