Explanation

Biometrics is the practice of using a person's unique physical or behavioral characteristics - such as fingerprints, retinal patterns, facial geometry, voice recognition, or hand geometry - to authenticate identity. Because these traits are inherent to the individual and extremely difficult to replicate, biometrics provides a strong form of authentication. Rootkits are malicious software tools used to gain hidden access to systems. Phishing is a social engineering attack using deceptive communications. Antispyware is software that detects and removes spyware.
