Abstract

This study cautions against the widespread use of biometrics modalities that only perform well under optimal conditions, and highlights the limitations of biometrics technology. Biometrics defines itself as what we are, as opposed to what we have (e.g. smart cards), or what we know (passwords). Today’s smartphones are equipped with biometric tech. The only problem with biometric solutions is their lack of performance. In real-life scenarios, the reliability of biometrics recognition systems can be affected by various social factors, covering user-related parameters, including physiological factors, behavioral factors and environmental factors. In this review, the bibliographical approach is used in order to describe the effects of human factors and the influence of social problems on the reliability of biometrics systems.
