First sentence: Immigration cards holding both passport number and measures of the user's hand [1]; fingerprints taken as a legal requirement for a driver license, but not stored anywhere on the license [2]; automatic facial recognition systems searching for known card cheats in a casino [3]; season tickets to an amusement park linked to the shape of the purchaser's fingers [4]; home incarceration programs supervised by automatic voice recognition systems [5]; and confidential delivery of health care through iris recognition [6]: these systems seem completely different in terms of purpose, procedures, and technologies, but each uses "biométrie authentication" in some way.
