Abstract
The need for comprehensive security in applications like national ID cards, border crossings, government benefits, and access control means that traditional methods of human identification, which rely on credentials like identification documents and PINs, fall short. Biometric recognition, based on individualsunique physiological and behavioral traits, is growing more popular as a solution to these problems. Biometrics advantages include resistance to loss, theft, or forgery. Examples of biometrics include fingerprints, facial features, and iris scans. Although biometrics have a history of being successful in law enforcement, as they grow more common, they face new difficulties. Depending on the application's requirements, such as accuracy, throughput, user acceptance, security, resilience, and return on investment, biometric technology's effectiveness varies. The management of low-quality or incomplete data, scalability for millions of users, interoperability, privacy protection, cost reduction, and system integrity enhancement are challenges that the next generation of biometric technology must overcome. In conclusion, biometrics offer a promising way to improve security and dependability in a variety of identification applications. To solve the difficult challenges of the future, such as enhancing accuracy, ensuring data quality, and protecting user privacy while retaining cost-effectiveness and system integrity, this technology will need to evolve to get past its current constraints.
