the study of measurable biological characteristics, or, in computer security, authentication techniques that use characteristics such as speech, fingerprints, or scans of the human eye
The FBI's Criminal Justice Information Services Division, which is located in Clarksburg, West Virginia, has launched a $1 billion effort to build the world's largest computer database of people's physical characteristics, termed "biometrics." These include digital images of faces, fingerprints, and palm patterns, and in coming years could be upgraded...
Companies today are making millions of dollars' worth of decisions based on data that is only about 70% accurate. They may have an existing procedure for how assets move through their internal or external supply chains. But when they get an opportunity to look at actual data about that process,...

In 1974 when Intermec invented Code 39, data capture technology was pretty simple: Print out a linear bar-code label and read it with a batch laser scanner. As bar codes became common place, companies realized the advantage of carrying more data, leading to new symbologies such as PDF417 and matrix...
BLUE BELL, Pa. -- Nearly 70 percent of consumers worldwide support using biometrics technologies such as fingerprints or voice recognition administered by a trusted organization (e.g., a bank, healthcare provider or government organization) as a way to verify an individual's identity, according to new global research from Unisys Corporation (NYSE:UIS).
Nowadays advances in wireless technologies, RFID Radio Frequency Identification becomes an important enabling technology for logistics and supply chain management systems and beyond.
