biometric database

A biometric database is a collection of data that stores unique physical characteristics of individuals, such as fingerprints, facial features, or iris patterns. These features are used for identification and verification purposes, determining who someone is based on their biological traits. Organizations use biometric databases for security measures, like unlocking devices or accessing secure areas. The idea is that everyone has distinct biological markers, making it difficult for someone to impersonate another person. Biometric data is often considered sensitive and is subject to strict regulations to protect individuals’ privacy.
