What is the definition of multifactor authentication (MFA)?

MFA requires the use of two or more different authentication factors (knowledge, possession, or inherence) to verify a user's identity.

What is the primary metric used to evaluate biometric system accuracy?

The Crossover Error Rate (CER), also called the Equal Error Rate (EER), which is the point where the False Acceptance Rate (FAR) equals the False Rejection Rate (FRR).
