> Biomentric security is not a "security mechanism"? "Biometric security" is authentication - not authorization.

  Any "authorizarion code"--such as a password or a secret handshake--is an (ex-post) proxy for an (ex-ante) authorization.

    It's quite possible to authorize without authenticating and vice versa, though it's a bit uncommon. They're separate concepts for a reason, though.
