Explaining basic terms and difficulties using various biometric characteristics. It also shortly describes how recognition works in several of these biometric characteristics (fingerprint, face, iris and signature). After that is the legal standpoint, which is focused mainly on European union law, where the often-mentioned GDPR is discussed.
