Identification 
A one-to-many comparison of an individual's submitted biometric sample against 
the entire database of biometric reference templates to determine whether it 
matches any of the templates and, if so, the identity of the enrollee whose 
template was matched. The biometric system using the one-to-many approach is 
seeking to find an identity within a database, rather than verify a claimed identity. 
(Contrast with Verification.)
