Scope:![]() | The Biometric identifiers cluster includes data elements that define information on the use of biometric identifiers and the type of biometric identification used. Biometric capture devices record the unique biological characteristics of an individual in order to identify a person. |
Collection and usage attributes | |
Guide for use:![]() | Biometric identifiers can be used in addition to conventional identification methods, as they can be faster and more reliable. Traditional methods of identification centre on something a person has, such as a token or a driver’s license, or something one knows, such as a password, address or name. Unlike these methods of identification, biometric identifiers are part of the person and therefore cannot be forgotten or stolen. |
