biometric identification

Body-based security check

Biometric identification uses unique physical or behavioral characteristics to verify identity.

Fingerprints, iris patterns, facial features, and voiceprints serve as biological signatures that are difficult to forge or share.

The airport uses biometric identification at security checkpoints.

The technology raises privacy concerns about how such data is stored and who can access it.
