For a quick biometrics definition: Biometrics are biological measurements — or physical characteristics — that can be used to identify individuals.
For example, fingerprint mapping, facial recognition, and retina scans are all forms of biometric technology, but these are just the most recognized options..
Fingerprint recognition systems work by examining a finger pressed against a smooth surface.
The finger's ridges and valleys are scanned, and a series of distinct points, where ridges and valleys end or meet, are called minutiae.
These minutiae are the points the fingerprint recognition system uses for comparison..
Benefits of fingerprint biometrics
Fingerprints cannot be lost or misplaced, and they are always with the person.
Fingerprints are hard to fake and more secure than a password or token.
Fingerprint patterns cannot be guessed and are non-transferable..
Biometric security is the use of biometric data for identification, access control, and authentication.
Hardware components such as cameras or fingerprint readers collect biometric data, which is scanned and algorithmically compared to information held in a database..
Fingerprint authentication, also called fingerprint biometrics, uses the unique characteristics of the human fingerprint.
The human fingerprint is composed of ridges and lines that represent a pattern wholly unique to the person when taken as a whole..
The use of biometrics as a tool for identification and security purposes began in the late 19th century with the work of Alphonse Bertillon..
Using biometrics for security decreases potential hacks and account takeover fraud by requiring the person initiating a transaction to prove they are whom they claim to be.
Indeed, there are multiple reasons why biometrics is important to digital identity security..
Javelin is equipped with three optical systems; two in the CLU(daysight and NVS) and one in the round (seeker).
An opticalsystem is a series of optical elements (lenses, mirrors, filters,etc.) that gather light at the system’s input and develop animage at its output.
In this case, the output is to the gunner.
The Javelin Jump Kit is a laptop biometric sensor solution with optional ID badge printer capability that supports high-volume collections for an office or check point use case.
The Javelin line offers a range of two to four fingerprint sensors, single and double iris camera, and multiple cameras solutions for face capture.
The Javelin is a rugged mobile biometric collection platform capable of collecting multi-modal biometrics.
The Javelin offers a 2-finger fingerprint sensor and Smartphone camera for face capture.
This device is perfect for military, law enforcement, humanitarian biometric collections, and access control.
Javelin also continues to evaluate acquisition opportunities across the lower 48 states.
