Biometrics is the science of using digital technology to identify individuals based on the individual's unique physical and biological qualities. Simply, biometrics is the technique of verifying a person's identity from a physical characteristic (i.e., fingerprint, hand print, face, scent, thermal image, or iris pattern), or personal trait (voice pattern, handwriting, or acoustic signature). DCS offers numerous products designed to meet all your needs whether it is a complete Biometric based Identification System. Whether your needs are for 1:1 Fingerprint biometrics, 1:1 Facial Recognition or a full AFIS system, DCS has proven biometric solutions that allows you to add biometrics to your current application. Specializing in biometric and card solutions, DCS focuses on enabling business and governmental organizations to identify personnel and clients and prides itself on providing integrated business solutions. Fully integrated solutions take into account the client's existing infrastructure and ensure that the legacy equipment is utilized to the full, and works effectively with the new technology. It is vital that open standards are utilized which focus on reusability and multiple applications. Biometrics can enhance security documents by enabling the automatic comparison of human characteristics e.g. finger, iris, hand, face, voice and signature to provide positive identification of specific individuals. This automated process is capable of capturing a biometric sample from an individual, extracting the biometric data from that sample and comparing the data with that contained in one or more reference templates, determining an identity match. Biometric identification is a one-to-many process of comparing an individual's submitted biometric sample against all of the biometric templates stored, to determine whether a match exists and subsequently identify the individual. The biometric process using the one-to-many approach is seeking to find an identity amongst a database rather than verify a claimed identity. This is sometimes more difficult because there are usually a large number of possible candidates. Having the ability to search a database provides an added level of security to the system by eliminating multiple registrations or duplicate identities of individuals at the time of enrolment. Biometric verification is a one-to-one process of comparing an individual's submitted biometric sample against a biometric template stored on an ID card or document, to determine whether the individual is the authorised cardholder.
