Analysis of Heart Rate Variability in Biometric Identification

Biometric recognition provides excellent security by identifying an individual based on the physiological and/or behavioral characteristics. This paper presents a systematic analysis for human identification from HRV data. The objective of this paper is to state usefulness of Heart Rate Variability in biometric identification also how ECG data can be used as identification trait in human recognition. HRV is the variant flow in the interval of time between the different two continuous heart beats. HRV is calculated by the variation in two heart beats. The electrocardiogram trace expresses cardiac features that are unique to an each individual which helps to identify/recognize the individual.
