Biometric identifier

The first draft of the new requirement had draconian security requirements, softened (as is common) after a comment period Demands for biometric identifiers were replaced with password control options. But the revised final regulation was still broad in scope and necessitated extensive documentation and testing for all systems used in the industry (with even stronger controls if the user opted for electronic signatures). 

Biometrics involves measuring the unique physical characteristics or traits of the human body. Any aspect of the body that is measurably different from person to person—for example, fingerprints or eye characteristics—can serve as a unique biometric identifier for that individual. Biometric systems recognizing fingerprints, palm shape, eyes, face, voice, and signature comprise the bulk of the current biometric systems.

What the Signatory Is. Arguably the most secure of the three approval methods, approval here relies on some sort of biometric identifier, some piece of physical and non-duplicable evidence of a person s identity. Such pieces of evidence include fingerprints, retinal...

Biometric identifiers (e.g., voice, finger print, iris, retina) should be removed. 

Biometrics A word increasingly used for the science of uniquely identifying individuals by individuals who couldn t uniquely identify a word for their science. 

Regulatory requirements, as detailed in 21 CFR 11 also allow for the OCS to be designed to incorporate or at least interface to equipment capable of biometric measurement (the measurement of a uniquely identifiable physical attribute that the operator possesses, such as fingerprints, retinal patterns, etc., or a set of repeatable actions unique to the individual). 

There is no doubt that the FDA would prefer the use of biometric signatures, i.e., a signature based on a unique physical attribute, such as a fingerprint or a retinal scan. When the rule was first drafted, this type of technology was not nearly robust enough. That situation is changing quickly, and devices are appearing where the necessary robustness is within reach. Nevertheless, systems will continue to be developed for some time where a unique combination of an identifier and a secret password will be necessary. 

A relatively new area of biometric technologies extends to designing systems that acquire and process biometric data, or biometrics. Biometrics include physiological and behavioral characteristics of humans in the form of visual, audio, or other information that enables identifying or verifying individuals (primarily for security-relevant applications), or using the data for healthcare purposes (to monitor biomedical parameters of patients).

Several methods have been suggested by researchers to improve the classification accuracy of identifying individuals. In our paper, the use of Multilayer Perceptron as the data mining technique for classification to the polynomial based approach further diversify the techniques for ECG biometric authentication.

Biometric system performs matching in pattern recognition problems between the training and test dataset for unknown features which would later determine the class (identity) of these unknown features. As a result of this learning technique, individuals can be identified for security and privacy purposes.
