A Comparative Analysis of Biometric Security Techniques Evaluating Contact Touch-Based and Touch Less Biometric Techniques

The increasing rise in electronic crimes has underlined the critical need for strong authentication techniques that enforce strict access control and data protection. Biometric authentication is a potential method that uses distinct physiological (like palm, eye retina, fingerprints etc.) and behavioral (like signature, keystroke etc.) traits for identity verification. This research compares touch based versus touch less biometric systems, focusing on performance, accuracy, and user acceptability. Addressing a gap in existing security standards, the study investigates the rising move towards touch less biometric driven by the desire to avoid physical contact and disease transmission. The research findings provide light on the potential of touch less technology to provide a more sanitary and dependable alternative to traditional procedures, with implications for wider adoption across a variety of sectors.
