Biometría

Dispositivo biométrico

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]

Biométrico

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]

(en) biometrics

The process of recognizing an individual based on measurable anatomical, physiological, and behavioral characteristics. [JP2-0:2013]

(en) Biometrics

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]

(en) Biometrics

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]

(en) biometric authentication

(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]

(en) Biometrics

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.

(en) biometric verification

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.

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).
