Exercise 8

List three reasons people might be reluctant to use biometrics for authentication. Can you think of ways to counter those objections?

Step 1 of 2

Biometrics

Biometrics is the authentication on the basis of common physical characteristics of human body. Till now, the biometric authentication is considered to be the most robust. It includes features that are unique to an individual but present in every human body, the features such as finger print, retina, iris can be identified uniquely. Authentication with biometrics has an advantage over other mode, since these data cannot be lost, forged, or cannot be stolen. The authentication is always available.
