Physiological Biometrics
Physiological biometrics refers to verifying identity based on unique physical characteristics such as fingerprints, face, iris, and vein patterns.
Overview
Physiological biometrics encompasses modalities that rely on inherent physical attributes of an individual. Common examples include fingerprint, facial, iris, and palm vein recognition. These traits are generally stable over a person’s lifetime and provide strong authentication guarantees when sensors and matching algorithms are implemented securely.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are physiological biometrics?
Physiological biometrics verify identity based on unique physical characteristics like fingerprints, iris patterns, or vein structures.
How do physiological biometrics differ from behavioral biometrics?
Physiological biometrics rely on stable physical traits, whereas behavioral biometrics analyze dynamic user behaviors like typing or gait.
What are common examples of physiological biometrics?
Common examples include fingerprint, facial, iris, and palm vein recognition, all based on inherent physical features.
