Biometrics is an authentication system that uses the unique physical characteristics of each person to be authenticated by the IT system. This means that when logging in to a computer, instead of entering a username and password, the user authenticates himself with something else that is unique to him and that makes him unique and different from other people. The most commonly used features are fingerprint, hand and face geometry, iris appearance etc. All of these characteristics are unique to each person. The application in criminalistics and forensics is very significant, especially in the part related to identification.Keywords: Biometrics, Biometric Recognition, Authentication, Human Characteristics
