Biometric Security
  Everyone in the world has personal characteristics, such as fingerprints and voice patterns, that distinguish him or her from the other 6.6 billion people in the world.  Biometric security is the science of restricting access to secured areas by using these distinct features to electronically identify a person.  Today, this sci-fi technology is gaining popularity in homes across the world and is considered almost common place in most businesses.

How Biometric Security Works

Just like no two people have identical DNA, there are numerous physical and behavioral characteristics that are unique to each individual.  The most common characteristics used by biometric security devices to properly identify a person are:

  • Fingerprints
  • Geometry of the palm and hand
  • Contours of the face and cranial structure
  • The size and shape of the retina and iris
  • Pitch, pattern, and tone of the voice

Inside the biometric security device is a microprocessor or chip; person managing the device stores an image of a defining characteristic for everyone who is allowed access in this microprocessor or chip.  When access to the restricted area is wanted, the person allows the biometric security device, such as an iris or fingerprint scanner, to take a digital picture of his or her unique characteristic.  The biometric security device then compares this picture with the image already existing in the microprocessor or chip.  If the match is positive access is granted, and if a match doesn't exist, access is denied.

Uses of Biometric Security

The most common uses of biometric security are in the business world.  Biometric security procedures are often used to secure:

  • Computer labs
  • Pharmaceutical warehouses
  • Medical buildings
  • Personal records
  • Airports and airplanes

The use of biometric security has spread from businesses to homes over the past few years.  Many homeowners utilize biometric security to ensure the safety of their homes and family by installing biometric security devices on:

  • Back and side doors
  • Backyard fences
  • Garage doors
  • Swimming pool gates
  • Utility closets
  • Basements, cellars, and attics
  • Gun and wall safes

Biometric security provides confidence to homeowners and businesses that access to dangerous, important, or confidential areas is strictly controlled.  If someone can't be properly identified by a documented physical characteristic, they are not allowed entrance into these secured areas.
