Who You Are
Human beings are unique. Our unique genetic makeup expresses itself in multiple ways including facial features and iris features, finger and palm prints. Other features such as gait and speech fall into the category of ‘Who you are”. In order to use such features to identify individuals there is typically a process whereby the subject registers their biometrics and then each time they arrive at a destination goes through a scanning process to confirm that their characteristics match the stored characteristics. This process provides great accuracy but has the following negatives:
What You Know
What You Know refers mainly to passwords. The advantage of passwords is that, unlike biometrics, they are changeable, which mitigates damage. Unfortunately human behavior undermines passwords. People tend to use passwords that are easily remembered and therefore easily hacked. They tend to use the same password in different sites and they are easy prey for fraudulent phishing schemes.
What You Have
Physical objects carried by users is the final category. Physical and electronic keys, tokens, data cards, and cell phones fall into this category.

In the category of What You Have, cell phones have the following advantages:
