Biometrics
Biometrics refers to the measurement and statistical analysis of people's unique physical and behavioral characteristics, often used for identification and access control. Common biometric traits include fingerprints, facial recognition, iris patterns, and voice recognition, which provide a secure method of verifying an individual's identity based on inherent attributes rather than passwords or tokens. This technology enhances cybersecurity by making unauthorized access more difficult, as biometric traits are difficult to replicate or steal.
