  Author(s): Firoz Zang*
  
  Biometric data, consisting of unique physiological characteristics, plays a crucial role in modern identification and security systems. While biometrics offer convenience and accuracy, they also raise important concerns regarding privacy, security, and ethical considerations. This article explores the nature of biometric data, its applications, potential risks, and the measures necessary to safeguard it effectively. Biometric data refers to the measurable and distinctive characteristics of individuals used for identification and authentication. Physiological biometrics include fingerprints, facial features, iris patterns, and DNA profiles. Behavioral biometrics encompass traits like voice patterns, signature dynamics, and gait analysis. Biometric data is typically captured through specialized sensors or devices and converted into digital templates that can be securely stored and compa.. Read More»
