Biometric Applications.Just how many ways can we use Biometrics?As
the call goes out
for tighter, higher security, biometric applications
become
the one true solution
to a list of problems and needs.
"Security that can not be fooled, and does not rely on cards, tags, keys or passwords is quickly becoming the standard by which we judge security." - NSA guideline.  Current biometric applications include: Airlines
Government Schools Automobile access and security PC access Data Access Membership verification Time systems at business' Healthcare Immigration  Anti-terrorism
(facial recognition more prevalant)
Age verification (liquor purchase, bars & clubs etc) Membership verification (broader spectrum) Airlines (broader spectrum) Border crossings Terrorism threats Most security problems you can think of have a biometric solution. Unlike ID cards, pass keys, passwords etc you can't lose it, forget it, have it stolen, have it copied or lend it to someone. To take it a stage further, should someone actually seperate you from your biometric fingerprint, access would still not be granted as you have to be alive to pass a biometric test. |
