Things I learned about this topic:

- It is the use of physical aspects of a person to identify them.

- When a person uses biometric security, they chose characteristics that don't change over time and are impossible to copy and fabricate.

- Some of the scans used in biometric security are more intrusive than others. 

- Some of the methods are: face recognition, fingerprint identification, retina scan, iris scan, hand geometry and voice analysis. 

- Companies that provide this service are: "Cross Match Technologies", "ZKTeco" and "Aware,  Inc."

How does this topic relate to my life: 

It relates, because I can use it on my day to day life, use it as a security system and to enter my school, since it has started using fingerprint scans as a security method.

Questions I still have:

Is it a good security method, does it actually avoid problems and if so, which one is the best method to use.
