Security Defects in Biometric- based IdentificationSystemsand Mechanisms torectify them

Biometrics is one of the evolving technologies widely used in different aspects of life today. Theuse of biometrics for identification is a system mainly established to recognize a certain person through authentication by using a set of biological characteristics. In this paper, I aim to survey the security risks and defects in identity verification systems that are based on biometrics, and try to suggest risk management solutions in order to increase the security factor whenever using such systems.
