Advanced Biometric Services Offered By Indian CRO’s

Biometrics, also termed as biometric authentication consists of processes for recognizing human behavioral traits. The biometric traits can be divided into two principal categories. They are:

 

* Behavioral – This refers to an individual’s behavior, such as typing speed, voice quality, gait and many more. Certain researchers have coined a term“behaviometrics” to denote this category.


* Physiological – This is associated with the body shape. For instance, we can include here face recognition, palmprint, fingerprint, DNA, hand geometry iris recognition, and many more.
