The positive identification of a person has been identified as a need of our growing society for centuries, together with crime and law enforcement. First there was facial recognition and detection of walking style. Now, with our ever-increasing human population the need for “more accurate” identification appeared, including fingerprints and handwriting analysis, either to identify or to authenticate (e.g. bank transactions) certain individuals. Nowadays, a large variety of biometrics is available for identification and authentication based analysis of certain human characteristics, including visual, chemical or auditory data.
