| | Biometrics Background and Facts |
 | | Authentication is the identification (who is this person?) and verification (is this the person I think it is?) of who a given person is. Authorization is the connection of appropriate actions (needs, responsibilities, rights, restrictions) to the individual who has been identified and/or verified. |
 | | Keystrokes may be easily captured and abused; errors may result from injuries, someone having a bad day, or bad hardware; the form factor of the keyboard may prevent the user from repeating their normal keystroke pattern (Woodward, Orlans, et al., 2003). |
 | | A voice identification system, like other biometric technologies, requires that a "voice reference template" be constructed so that it can be compared against subsequent voice identifications (Automated Identification and Data Capture Biometrics Website, 2004). |
