Frost & Sullivan Hosts Webinar: Biometrics: Key Opportunities Driving Age of Authentic Impression

Sept. 21, 2011 - PRLog -- WHEN:      Wednesday, Sept. 28, 2011 at 11 a.m. EDT
LOCATION:   Online, with free registration
SPEAKER:    Neelima Sagar, Senior Research Analyst, Measurement & Instrumentation

The evaluation and assessment of different security mechanisms led to biometric technologies being pinpointed as the optimal solution to address enhanced security needs. Biometrics is one of the key technologies that has the capability to provide higher levels of authentication for both paper-based identities as well as electronic transactions.

In addition to the government applications, a host of new applications are using biometrics technology. For example, there has been a rising demand to include the fingerprint feature in consumer and commercial products. There is potential for banking customers to pay bills online from their homes with the use of non-AFIS fingerprint or voice biometrics built into their notebooks and laptops, rather than using transaction passwords. The fingerprints are increasingly being used in examination and lecture halls to check student’s identities before each class starts. This helps educators prevent identity fraud and ensure that the students get credit for the work they perform. Face recognition technology is anticipated to experience an increased demand in the casino industry to prevent blacklisted players from entering the casinos.

Taking a step forward from being used as single mode of authentication, biometric technologies have started penetrating more applications by integrating with smart cards or as bimodal and multimodal biometric measurements.

This briefing will benefit biometric vendors, security companies, distributors and system integrators, by discussing drivers, challenges, emerging trends and opportunities in the biometrics market.
