BioCertification.com is based out of Chicago, USA. CBSPI courseware and certification exams for Biometrics technologies for the Security industry is developed and managed by team that includes Biometrics professionals, Developers, Engineers & Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) from around the world to create and validate the content that is used to train and certify security professionals in the Biomet
rics technologies. What is Biometrics? Biometrics is the science of building a full proof security system by using a part of a person's body as an identification key. In the field of information technology, biometric authentication also refers to technologies that measure and analyzes human physical and behavioral characteristics for authentication purposes. How it works? A body part could be a persons fingerprint, iris, or voice is scanned with the sensors and is then digitally stored in the biometric system. Each time a person wants to login or gain access, the body part that has been scanned and digitally stored in the biometric system is compared with the stored print. The person is allowed access if the two prints match on the set criteria. Why Biometrics? How many passwords and personal identification numbers (PIN) do you have? How many times have you forgotten one or the other? From the PIN you use at a cash machine, to the password you use to access e-mail, forget any one of them and you'll understand why the science of biometrics is beginning to catch on, says The Forbes Magazine. Biometrics is the science of building a foolproof security system by using a part of a person's body as an identification key. Using fingerprints or characteristics of the eye or sound patterns of the voice, biometric solutions help companies build IT security and access control systems without passwords, both locally and over the web.
