Identification documents and PIN are traditional methods used to verify the identity of a human being. However, an increasing number of cases of security threats, illegal transactions at ATMs, unauthorised immigration and unauthorised infiltration across borders are factors which have resulted in the evolution of New Generation Biometrics methods. New generation biometrics refers to technologies that are used to verify the identity of individuals through biological characteristics such as facial expression, voice, palm, fingerprints, signature, iris, vein and DNA. Fingerprints, iris and facial recognition are the most commonly used techniques for identification.
