Description: Biometric authentication standards are guidelines established to implement authentication systems that use unique physical or behavioral characteristics of individuals, such as fingerprints, facial recognition, iris patterns, or voice patterns. These standards aim to ensure the security and privacy of biometric data, as well as the integrity of the systems that use them. Biometric authentication is considered a form of multifactor authentication, as it combines something the user is (biometrics) with other factors, such as a password or token. The standards include technical aspects, such as the accuracy and reliability of biometric systems, as well as ethical and legal considerations regarding the handling of sensitive data. Implementing these standards is crucial to prevent fraud and unauthorized access and to foster user trust in biometric technologies. In an increasingly digital world, where information security is paramount, biometric authentication standards play a fundamental role in protecting identities and personal data.
