Abstract

Biometrics has become an essential part of our lives. It has evolved significantly over past few decades. From unlocking of phone to marking attendance in office and making bank transactions, everything has been automated with the use of biometrics. A lot of biometric attributes are in use with each having its own pros and cons. This paper presents a study of different biometrics and their features.

Keywords
