Biometrics are biological measurements — or physical features — that can be used to identify individuals. Fingerprint mapping, facial recognition, and retina scanning are all examples of biometric technology, although they are only the most well-known. Researchers suggest that the shape of an ear, the way a person sits and walks, distinct body odours, veins in one's hands, and even facial contortions are all unique identifiers.

These may include characteristics such as DNA or blood, which may be analyzed using a sample of your body's fluids. Morphological biometrics are concerned with the structure of your body. More bodi...
