• Resumen

  • Biometric Recognition is reaching a certain level of maturity, being deployed to cover the user identify or authenticate users in a variety of applications. Several modalities are applicable nowadays for recognizing humans (e.g.

    ngerprint, face, iris, signature or vascular), while others are still under development (e.g. gait, ear or keystrokes).

    But even in those modalities considered mature, there are still open issues that require further research, especially when considering their deployment in applications that handle large sets of population. This paper will provide a short overview to this technology, highlighting the current state of the art and the steps forward being demanded nowadays.
