The escalating cases of cyber-attacks and data breaches were the catalysts that led to the conception of this project. We live in an age where our lives are increasingly intertwined with the digital world, and with that comes the rising vulnerability to digital threats. Traditional password systems, while being the norm, have proven time and again to be susceptible to hacking, forgetfulness, and misuse. It became evident that a new solution was needed - a solution that didn't just promise to enhance security but also improve the user experience. This is what inspired us to explore biometric security for web applications.
During the course of this project, we delved deep into the intricacies of biometric technology and its application in web security. We learned the importance of privacy and confidentiality in handling sensitive biometric data and the role of hashing algorithms in preserving it. We discovered the seamless integration possibilities offered by standardised biometric APIs and their compatibility across devices and browsers.
