The article presents biometric systems from three different standpoints.
Technological standpoint, where the focus is laid on biometric system usage by
the general public. 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. This basic legal
regulation places a significantly higher standard than the previous legislation
on the processing of biometric data as a special category of personal data.
Lastly, the article shows the sociological standpoint. In that part different
attitudes towards biometric technologies are discussed within the world
population as well as different groups of Czech Republic population. In the
latest survey done by the authors in 2020 was found out the age and education are
