Abstract

In the advent of security requirements in today's era, biometrics technologies play a major role in identification of a person. Biometrics technologies have the potential to make authentication dramatically faster, easier, and more secure than just using mere passwords. Identification is a crucial step in any forensic science investigation as it allows establishing the perpetrator at the crime scene. Biometrics identifies a person by comparing a profile stored in a database to an acquired biometrics data. It allows rapid and accurate acquisition, comparison, and recognition of a person. Conventionally, biometrics analysis involved fingerprint biometric system, face biometric systems, speaker recognition biometric technology, and iris recognition biometric technology. While these technologies are really strong and provide good biometrics analysis, they are nearly incomplete technologies. Therefore, newly emerging biometrics technologies such as DNA biometrics, retina recognition biometrics, gait biometrics, keystroke biometrics, ear recognition biometrics, and body odor biometrics have been developed and will be discussed in Section 9.3 of this chapter. This chapter also deals with conventional biometrics technologies such as fingerprint biometrics, face biometrics, speaker recognition biometrics, and iris recognition biometrics.
