Biometric system

A biometric system is an automated system capable of:


 * 1) capturing a biometric sample from an end user;
 * 2) extracting biometric data from that sample;
 * 3) comparing the biometric data with the biometric data contained in one or more reference templates;
 * 4) determining how closely they match; and
 * 5) indicating whether or not an identification or verification of identity has been achieved.
