- Biometrics such as fingerprints, iris scans, and facial recognition are increasingly being used for security and identification purposes in applications like access control, e-commerce, banking, and computer login to enhance security. Fingerprint recognition is a mature biometric technique used in this research.
- However, biometrics also present cybersecurity risks if the biometric data is stolen or systems are circumvented. Hackers could potentially force individuals to provide biometric samples or use facsimiles to gain unauthorized access to systems. Proper management of biometric data and systems is needed to mitigate risks.
