Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Biometrics are measurable human traits, characteristics, or behaviors that can be used to verify a person’s identity. For example, a person’s face or fingerprints are unique to them and can be measured.

Detailed explanation-2: -Face, fingerprint, hand geometry, palm print, iris, voice, signature, gait, and keystroke dynamics are examples of biometric traits. In the context of a given system and application, the presentation of a user’s biometric feature involves both biological and behavioral aspects.

Detailed explanation-3: -Biometric identifiers are often categorized as physiological characteristics which are related to the shape of the body. Examples include, but are not limited to fingerprint, palm veins, face recognition, DNA, palm print, hand geometry, iris recognition, retina, odor/scent, voice, shape of ears and gait.

Detailed explanation-4: -The types of biometrics can be grouped into two main categories: physiological biometrics and behavioral biometrics. Physiological biometrics are characteristics or measurements of the human body, whereas behavioral biometrics refer to the unique way a person performs a certain behavior, like giving a signature.

Detailed explanation-5: -Primary biometric traits such as face, fingerprints, and iris can suffer from noisy sensor data, non-universality, and lack of distinctiveness.
