Biometrics Questions
A biometric template refers to a digital representation of an individual's unique physiological or behavioral characteristics, such as fingerprints, iris patterns, facial features, voice patterns, or hand geometry. It is created by extracting and encoding the distinctive features from the biometric data captured during the enrollment process. The template serves as a reference or a reference point for subsequent biometric comparisons or verifications. It is securely stored in a database or on a smart card and is used for matching against newly captured biometric data during authentication or identification processes. The template itself does not contain any personal information or raw biometric data, ensuring privacy and security.
