-**Biometric Authentication** is a security process that relies on the unique biological characteristics of individuals to verify they are who they say they are. Biometric [[dido:​public:​ra:​xapend:​xapend.a_glossary:​a:​authentication|authentication]] systems compare physical or behavioral traits to stored, confirmed, authentic data in a database. If both samples of the biometric data match, authentication is confirmed.
