Biometric in Cyber Security: A Mini Review

Our lives totally depend on computers and mobile devices. Nowadays, we see a massive development in the digital world that makes it easy to stay in touch with friends and family and even work remotely. The growth led to losses and distress caused by cyber-attacks, which attempt to harm by unauthorized access. Cybersecurity is a major issue in our digital world, while cybercrime is increasing. The banking and finance sectors have started to rely on biometric security systems for their apps and services. Biometric identification uses unique human characteristics to authenticate a person's identity, such as voice/speech recognition, fingerprint recognition, facial recognition, iris recognition, signature dynamics, etc. Biometric technology is used in banking, e-commerce, account login, access control, etc, which can be considered a valuable measure against cybercrime. Biometrics is a key to the future of cybersecurity and safeguards against cybercrime.
