Most Common and Reliable Traits for Fusion of Biometrics
Biometrics technologies have been around for quite some time and many have been deployed for
different applications all around the world, ranging from small companies' time and attendance
systems to access control systems for nuclear facilities. Biometrics offer a reliable solution for
the establishment of the distinctiveness of identity based on "who an individual is", rather than
what he or she knows or carries. Biometric Systems automatically verify a person's identity
based on his anatomical and behavioral characteristics. Biometric traits represent a strong and
undeviating link between a person and his identity, these traits cannot be easily lost or forgotten
or faked. Since biometric systems require the user to be present at the time of authentication.
Some biometric systems are more reliable than others, yet biometric systems are neither secure
nor accurate, all biometrics have their strengths and weaknesses. Although some of these
systems have shown reliability and solidarity, work still has to be done to improve the quality of
service they provide. In this paper we present the most common and reliable known biometric
systems suitable for Multimodal Biometrics Fusion, providing highly efficient and secure
systems, showing their strengths and weaknesses and also presenting technologies in which may
have great benefits for security applications in the near future.
