Biometric data storage

Biometric data storage refers to the secure saving of unique physical characteristics, like fingerprints, facial features, or iris patterns, used for identification. Unlike passwords, these traits are inherently tied to an individual and can’t be easily forgotten or stolen. When someone enrolls in a biometric system, their data is converted into a digital format and stored in a database. This data can be used to verify identity quickly and accurately, improving security for access control in various applications, from smartphones to airports, while ensuring privacy through encryption and protective measures against unauthorized access.
