How Centralized Biometric Systems works?

Centralized biometric systems are designed to authenticate and verify the identity of individuals based on their biometric information, such as fingerprints, iris patterns, or facial features. These systems typically consist of two main components: the biometric data capture device and the central database.

The biometric data capture device is used to collect the biometric information of an individual, which is then converted into a digital format and transmitted to the central database for processing. The data capture device can be a fingerprint scanner, an iris scanner, or a facial recognition camera, depending on the type of biometric information being collected.

Once the biometric information has been captured and transmitted to the central database, it is compared against the biometric data already stored in the database. The central database contains the biometric information of all the individuals who have been enrolled in the system, along with their personal details, such as name, date of birth, and identification number.

If the biometric information captured by the data capture device matches the biometric information stored in the central database, the individual’s identity is verified, and they are granted access to the system or area they are trying to access. If there is no match between the biometric information captured and the biometric data stored in the central database, the individual is denied access.

Centralized biometric systems are commonly used in organizations and institutions where there is a need for a high level of security, such as airports, government buildings, financial institutions, and data centers. These systems provide a more secure and convenient way of authenticating and verifying the identity of individuals, while also reducing the risk of identity theft, fraud, and other security breaches.
