Biometrics - Digital identification vs. authentication
Biometrics are increasingly used in everyday technology for authentication - to access phones and bank accounts, and to complete digital transactions. So, what next for biometrics in the area of digital identification?
How can or should biometrics be used in more complex scenarios, for example to verify identities when onboarding new customers, or accessing online products and services.
Perhaps, more importantly, who owns this biometric information?
How might it be used or misused?
Do faces become just another piece of data or should the industry be doing more to protect individuals?
David Birch and Donald Gillies explore this topic in the new episode of the PassFort podcast, available now!
