What is a “biometric” system and how could it prevent forgeries?
A biometric is a measure of identity based on a body part or a behaviour of an individual. The most well known biometrics are fingerprints, iris scans and signatures. The government says some biometrics are extremely secure and reliable forms of ID, and it appears very keen on the idea of fingerprints and iris scans to establish one’s identity or, at least, one’s uniqueness.
