Opportunities and Challenges in Biometric Technology

Biometric advancements have the potential to provide more robust security and authentication approaches compared to conventional password-based security measures. When compared to knowledge-based security, biometrics relies on what makes you unique rather than what you know. Biometrics offers promising opportunities to enhance security but also comes with its own set of challenges. Successful implementation requires attention to these possible flaws and a rise in user approval. This article explores the potential benefits of biometric security in an effort to ascertain how broadly adopted it is. It analyses the correlation between user approval and their opinion of the feature's usefulness and accessibility. It also examines crucial acceptability elements like social, organizational, and cost considerations. Biometric systems are a type of pattern recognition technology that may identify a person by vetting their claimed physiological and/or behavioural traits. The following concept of a biometric system can be very broad, which is problematic when thinking about the specifics of contemporary biometric applications. The use of biometrics has the potential to greatly improve upon the security of current methods of authentication and identification. The broad use of biometrics solutions, in fact, has significant ramifications for the way we think about the individual's place in society. However, certain factors and limits are taken into account in the context of the application area, as is the case with any technology. Further progress will be made as scientists investigate multiple, interconnected topics. This paper addresses technical and engineering concerns while highlighting potential applications of contemporary biometric technologies
