biometrics

In computing, term applied loosely to the measurement of biological (human) data, usually for security purposes, rather than the statistical analysis of biological data. For example, when someone wants to enter a building or cash a cheque, their finger or eyeball may be scanned and compared with a fingerprint or eyeball scan stored earlier. Biometrics saves people from having to remember PINs (personal identification numbers) and passwords.
