As defined in Computer Security Basics by O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.
Biometrics is the use of a persons unique physiological, behavioral, and
morphological characteristics to provide positive personal identification.
Biometric systems that are currently avaiable today examine fingerprints,
handprints, and retina patterns. Systems that are close to biometrics but are
not classified as such are behavioral systems such as voice, signature and
keystroke systems. They test patterns of behavior not parts of the body.

Biometrics is still relatively new to most people and will remain
expensive to purchase good equipment until it becomes more popular and the
technology gets better. And as people become more aware of how the systems work
they will become more accepting of the more secure systems and not shy away from
them as much. The future of access control security is literally in the hands,
eyes, voice, keystroke, and signature of everyone.
