About Biometrics
Biometrics
Biometrics are technologies that help to identify and verify individuals based on unique physical or behavioral characteristics. These technologies match patterns of individuals against databases of records.
The match process includes:
- Gathering proof of identities
- Enrolling biometric data and converting the data into templates
- Matching templates to stored records using complex algorithms
L-1 Identity Solutions focuses on the development of fingerprint, face, iris and skin biometrics as they have utility across the broadest range of applications.
