Biometrics is becoming the 'norm' for not only large
applications and projects, but for protecting access to individual
computers, cell phones, pocket sized personal computers, networks, Web
servers and database applications, as well as during transactions
conducted via telephone and Internet (electronic commerce and
electronic banking). In automobiles, biometrics can replace keys with
keyless entry and keyless ignition.
Current stringent Data Protection
Regulations with regard to access control to sensitive or personal data
held within Corporate network is adding to the demand for much tighter
access control. Markets such as Healthcare, Banking/Finance, and
Government are specifically sensitive to the problem.
Biometric solutions that utilise a person’s unique physical
characteristic, such as a fingerprint to ensure positive
identification, offer an alternative to passwords, ensuring greater
security and a reduction in administrative costs.
