Introduction

Biometric security systems have become integral to modern identity verification, providing more reliable and efficient alternatives to traditional methods such as passwords or PINs [1,2]. These systems utilize unique biological characteristics—such as fingerprints, facial features, iris patterns, and voice recognition—to authenticate individuals, ensuring a higher level of security [3,4]. The rise of biometric technology has been driven by the need for more secure authentication methods that prevent identity theft, fraud, and unauthorized access [5,6]. With their increasing adoption across various sectors, such as banking, healthcare, and government services, biometric systems have reshaped how personal data was protected and accessed [7,8].

The integration of deep learning techniques into biometric security systems has further advanced their capabilities [9]. Deep learning, a subset of machine learning, enables the automatic extraction of intricate features from raw biometric data, significantly enhancing the accuracy and robustness of recognition systems [10,11]. Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and other deep learning models excel at handling the complexities of biometric traits, enabling systems to process and match images or signals with high precision [12-15]. The combination of deep learning and biometrics allows for continuous improvement in the accuracy and efficiency of identity verification processes, making these systems more reliable in real-world applications [16-19].
