Biometrics: State Of The Art And Future Implications

Biometrics has matured to the point where several technologies have been internationally standardized and incorporated into major international and national identity verification implementations across both the public and private sectors. Because these biometrics technologies are being incorporated into mainstream government to citizen (G2C) and business to consumer (B2C) identification processes, broader adoption of these technologies can be accomplished more quickly and at lower cost than was previously possible. The prospect of biometrics becoming the principle consumer and citizen identification method through incorporation into government and commercial credentials is now close enough for CISOs to begin active consideration for adopting them in their enterprise business processes.
