Abstract

In the modern world, biometrics has become an integral part of our daily lives. From unlocking smartphones with a fingerprint or facial recognition to accessing secure facilities and verifying identities in financial transactions, biometric systems have revolutionized how we handle security and convenience. By utilizing unique physical or behavioral characteristics, such as fingerprints, iris patterns or voice recognition, biometrics offers a higher level of security compared to traditional methods like passwords and PINs. This technology enhances user experience, reduces fraud, and is often used to streamline processes across various sectors including banking, healthcare, and government services. With the advent of draft DPDP Rules open to suggestions from the general public by Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, it is high time that the avenue of biometrics be revolutionized by these laws.
