Enhanced Authentication:
Biometrics take cyber security authentication to a whole new level.
Because biometric identifiers are so unique—no two fingerprints or voice patterns are exactly alike—the possibility of unauthorized access is drastically reduced..
Biometric authentication refers to a cybersecurity process that verifies a user's identity using their unique biological traits such as fingerprints, voices, retinas, and facial features..
NIST Fingerprint Image Quality (NFIQ 2) is open source software that links image quality of optical and ink 500 pixel per inch fingerprints to operational recognition performance..
NIST's biometric activities include: research on the various biometric modalities: fingerprint, face, iris, voice, DNA, and multimodal; standards development at the national and international level; and technology testing and evaluation, which leads to innovation.Jan 27, 2020.
A measurable physical characteristic or personal behavioral trait used to recognize the identity, or verify the claimed identity, of an applicant.
Facial images, fingerprints, and iris scan samples are all examples of biometrics..

The NIST Biometric Image Software (NBIS) distribution is developed by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
This software has been determined to be outside the scope of the EAR (see Part 734.3 of the EAR for exact details) as it has been cre.

Automated recognition of individuals based on their biological and behavioral characteristics.
Standards (and their guidance), are vital for building effective biometric systems.
The standards that NIST works on enable:
