Biometric
authentication are systems that rely on the unique biological characteristics of individuals to
verify their identity for secure access. For example, biometrics can secure a bank account or health app on your Apple iPhone.
There are (or have been) at least four biometric
technologies employed for smartphones. In order of global
popularity, they are:
1. Face
2.
Fingerprint
3. Voice
4. Eye
Fingerprint sensors today
are the most
advanced solution. Eye sensors are among the toughest to implement. Key players in these biometric fields include companies such as FPC Sweden or Qualcomm US.
