What is biometrics?

Biometrics is the science of measuring and analyzing biological characteristics of humans for authentication purposes. Offering a more convenient way to identify an individual than passwords or badges, biometric security systems such as e-passports are becoming increasingly common.

While research on biometrics focuses on the recognition aspect and strives to make progress in:

it also takes other related matters in hand, such as:

soft biometrics (eye color, height, tattoos, etc.),
age or gender estimation from biometric samples,
facial expression recognition,
spoofing and anti-spoofing,
encryption of biometric data and template protection.
