Technology advances day by day and the new things are being developed. There are many new technologies being introduced and developed in any discipline. Data Security plays a vital role and Biometric security systems is one of the new trends to be developed, which has its advantages for controlling access, protecting sensitive data, tracking on-line systems, etc. ,. Biometric technologies such as fingerprint, face and iris recognition have seen an increasing interest throughout the past decades to increase the security, convenience, accountability. Such interest has been intensified with various large-scale initiatives from governments that seek to incorporate biometric technologies for the purposes of identification, verification and for fraud detection and deterrence. Being purely ad hoc technological implementations, biometric devices are now seen as being of strategic value and consequently of strategic importance. With the perception of better efficiency and effectiveness, governments are beginning to embrace biometric technologies. Industry is also geared up to sell the products, and all over the world businesses are looking to incorporate biometrics for many different uses ranging from access-control to e-commerce and entertainment. Biometrics and smart cards are two of the most powerful security solutions available today. This paper introduces a new mechanism to provide better security and services with Biometric Smart Card technology including hybrid biometric security, i. e. , with the combination of security for fingerprint pattern and for the smart card.
