Physical characteristics are, for example, the retina, the fingerprint, and the palmprint.
Biometric techniques require a first phase in which the characteristic is measured. This phase, also called enrollment , generally comprises of several measurements of the characteristic. On the basis of the different measurements, a template is computed and stored at the authentication server. F. Monrose and A. Rubin. Authentication via keystroke dynamics .
