Biometric ID covers a range of techniques and technologies that achieve unique identification of an individual, using features such as faces, hands, eyes and fingerprints. Handwriting Recognition is another area of biometrics that, in recent years, has seen significant improvements in recognition techniques for data entry into hand-held terminal and computer systems. Healthcare identification cards, patient identification, passports and identification cards are considered prime potential uses though the earliest common applications are in access control to secure areas and computer equipment. Biometrics can replace traditional personal identification numbers (PINs), passwords or others symbols used to establish identity.
