2.1.2 Face
Face technique analyzes the characteristics of an individual's face images
captured through a digital video camera. It records the overall facial structure,
including distances between eyes, nose, mouth, and jaw edges. These
measurements are stored in a database and used as a comparison when a user
stands before the camera.

2.1.3 DNA
DNA technique could be the most exact form of identifying any given
individual. Every human being has its own individual map for every cell made,
and this map, or blueprint as it more often is called, can be found in every body
cell. Because DNA is the structure that defines who we are physically and
intellectually, unless an individual is an identical twin, it is not likely that any
other person will have the same exact set of genes. DNA can be collected from
any number of sources: blood, hair, finger nails, mouth swabs, blood stains

2.1.8 Odour/scent
Human odor can be differentiated among individuals and can therefore
be seen as a biometric that can be used to identify this person. Technology has
made it possible to identify humans based on headspace analysis of objects
they have handled, opening the route to the use of odor as a biometric.
Headspace is the gaseous phase above a sample (liquid or solid).

2.2.2 Gait/Body
Gait recognition is an emerging biometric technology which involves
people being identified purely through the analysis of the way they walk. While
research is still underway, it has attracted interest as a method of identification
because it is non-invasive and does not require the subjects cooperation. Gait
recognition could also be used from a distance, making it well-suited to
identifying perpetrators at a crime scene. But gait recognition technology is not
limited to security applications researchers also envision medical applications
for the technology.

2.2.3 Signature
It can be operated in two different ways:
Static: In this mode, users write their signature on paper, digitize it through an
optical scanner or a camera, and the biometric system recognizes the signature
analyzing its shape. This group is also known as off-line.
Dynamic: In this mode, users write their signature in a digitizing tablet, which
acquires the signature in real time. Another possibility is the acquisition by
means of stylus-operated PDAs. Dynamic recognition is also known as on-line.
