Physiological and Behavioral characteristics:
Physiological:
- Fingerprint

With numerous devices, traditional paradigm of user name
and password based scenarios are not practical
Only authorized users should have access to data and
services
Biometrics provide an unobtrusive and convenient
authentication mechanism
Advantages of biometrics
Uniqueness
No need to remember passwords or carry tokens
Biometrics cannot be lost, stolen or forgotten
More secure than a long password
Solves repudiation problem
Not susceptible to traditional dictionary attacks
