biometric access

Body-verified authentication system

Biometric access is entry or authentication granted through biological characteristics—fingerprints, facial recognition, iris scans, or voice patterns.

The technology assumes these traits are unique and difficult to forge: The building requires biometric access after hours.

Biometric access has become standard on smartphones and in high-security facilities.
