biometric identification
biometric authentication
identity verification | the automatic identification of living individuals by using their physiological and behavioral characteristics, negative identification can only be accomplished through biometric identification, if a pin or password is lost or forgotten it can be changed and reissued but a biometric identification cannot |

| Bachelor of Science in Engineering | a bachelor's degree in engineering |
| Master of Science in Engineering | a master's degree in engineering |
| identification | evidence of identity, something that identifies a person or thing |
| positive identification | evidence proving that you are who you say you are, evidence establishing that you are among the group of people already known to the system, recognition by the system leads to acceptance, a system for positive identification can prevent the use of a single identity by several people |
| negative identification | evidence proving that you are not who you say you are not, evidence establishing that you are not among a group of people already known to the system, recognition by the system leads to rejection, a system for negative identification can prevent the use of multiple identities by a single person |
