Abstract
Biometrics is a secure way of carrying out access control authentication as it makes use of a person’s characteristics. Voice authentication, a form of biometrics, has become more popular and more accepted in the development of commercial applications. This makes it acceptable as an alternative or complement to other forms of biometric authentication. A lot of voice authentication software is developed for companies that use it for telephony operations; this makes it difficult for users who want to use voice authentication for personal purposes to afford such software because companies can afford to pay much more than individuals. This paper gives an overview of biometrics, voice authentication, and then discusses the development of a system that uses voice authentication to access computers as an alternative to other forms of biometric access for computers such as fingerprint readers.
