Dispositivo
que utiliza parámetros biológicos característicos de las personas como la huella
dactilar, el iris del ojo o la voz para la autenticación. [CCN-STIC-430:2006]
Procedimiento
de autenticación basado en la medición de alguna característica física o
biológica de una persona. Por extensión, también se aplica a la autenticación
mediante la comprobación de algún hábito o rasgo personal de un individuo. Por
ejemplo, en sentido estricto son procedimientos biométricos: el reconocimiento
de la huella dactilar, de la geometría de la mano, del patrón de venas del
fondo del ojo, de la voz, de la faz, etc. En el sentido más lato, citado
arriba, también lo son: la verificación de la firma autógrafa, de la cadencia y
presión de las pulsaciones del teclado,
etc. [Ribagorda:1997]
The process of recognizing
an individual based on measurable anatomical, physiological, and behavioral
characteristics. [JP2-0:2013]
Automated recognition of
individuals based on their behavioral and biological characteristics.
In this document, biometrics
may be used to unlock authentication tokens and prevent repudiation of
registration.
[NIST-SP800-63:2013]
Measurable physical
characteristics or personal behavioral traits used to identify, or verify the
claimed identity, of an individual. Facial images, fingerprints, and
handwriting samples are all examples of biometrics. [CNSSI_4009:2010]
(I) A method of generating
authentication information for a person by digitizing measurements of a physical
or behavioral characteristic, such as a fingerprint, hand shape, retina
pattern, voiceprint, handwriting style, or face. [RFC4949:2007]
Biometrics is the science
and technology of measuring and analyzing biological data. In information
technology, biometrics refers to technologies that measure and analyze human
body characteristics, such as fingerprints, eye retinas and irises, voice patterns,
facial patterns and hand measurements, for authentication purposes.

Biometric verification is
any means by which a person can be uniquely identified by evaluating one or
more distinguishing biological traits. Unique identifiers include fingerprints,
hand geometry, earlobe geometry, retina and iris patterns, voice waves, DNA,
and signatures. The oldest form of biometric verification is fingerprinting.
Historians have found examples of thumbprints being used as a means of unique
identification on clay seals in ancient China. Biometric verification has
advanced considerably with the advent of computerized databases and the
digitization of analog data, allowing for almost instantaneous personal
identification.
Iris-pattern and
retina-pattern authentication methods are already employed in some bank
automatic teller machines. Voice waveform recognition, a method of verification
that has been used for many years with tape recordings in telephone wiretaps,
is now being used for access to proprietary databanks in research facilities.
Facial-recognition technology has been used by law enforcement to pick out
individuals in large crowds with considerable reliability. Hand geometry is
being used in industry to provide physical access to buildings. Earlobe
geometry has been used to disprove the identity of individuals who claim to be
someone they are not (identity theft). Signature comparison is not as reliable,
all by itself, as the other biometric verification methods but offers an extra
layer of verification when used in conjunction with one or more other methods.

The intelligence derived
from the processing of biologic identity data and other all-source for
information concerning persons of interest. Also called BEI. [JP2-0:2013]
Technologie d'
authentification portant sur les caractéristiques biologiques propres et
uniques à chaque être humain comme par exemple les empreintes digitales ou
l'image rétinienne.

La biométrie permet
d'authentifier un individu sur la base de ces caractères physiologiques (ex.:
empreintes digitales ou rétinienne) ou traits comportementaux (ex.: fréquence
ou pression de frappe sur un clavier).
