Number of biometric samples required to form an exhaustive set of fingerprint hashes?
Slight variations in the sample produce different hash values of the sample data. The answer linked below indicates that enough different samples might p… Continue reading Number of biometric samples required to form an exhaustive set of fingerprint hashes?
When it’s time to hire a new employee, organizations go to great lengths to avoid hiring someone who would commit fraud: background checks, credit checks, drug tests, etc. But the truth is that few people deliberately join an organization with the inte… Continue reading Scammers aren’t always who we expect them to be: How AI and biometrics can help
17% of consumers would rather watch paint dry than create a unique password for every service they use, an Onfido survey reveals. The study polled more than 4,000 consumers in the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Germany on their password … Continue reading Consumer views and behaviors on creating and using passwords
Army researchers developed a deepfake detection method that will allow for the creation of state-of-the-art soldier technology to support mission-essential tasks such as adversarial threat detection and recognition. This work specifically focuses on a … Continue reading DefakeHop: A deepfake detection method that tackles adversarial threat detection and recognition
In Internet of Things (IoT) systems, biometrics may be used to authenticate or identify a person to allow access. The database consisting of templates generated from face images, for example, is stored on a server or cloud. During authenti… Continue reading Biometrics for IoT system
Just like our fingerprints, the shape and pattern of each dog’s nose is unique to that animal. Bearing this in mind, pet food company Iams has launched a “nose-centric” app for identifying lost dogs – appropriately enough, it’s called NOSEiD.Continue R… Continue reading Biometric ID app knows lost dogs by their noses
Securing mobile devices and mobile applications is a nuisance. Security best practices dictate having authentication methods to log in and open the device, and that users should log off every app after each use. Best practices, however, are inconvenie… Continue reading Contextual Biometrics for Improved Application Security
Consumers across the U.S. and Canada have embraced digital banking and biometric identity proofing during the COVID-19 pandemic, a FICO study has found. The study found that 41 percent of North American consumers are more likely to use digital means to… Continue reading Consumers embracing biometrics to protect their information
Goode Intelligence published a survey which captured the views and opinions of companies that have deployed or are thinking of deploying biometrics. COVID-19 has accelerated the shift to digital, creating a boom in biometric adoption. Sixty-two percent… Continue reading COVID-19 creates a boom in biometric adoption
The number of users of software-based facial recognition to secure payments will exceed 1.4 billion globally by 2025, from just 671 million in 2020, a Juniper Research study reveals. This rapid growth of 120% demonstrates how widespread facial recognit… Continue reading Number of users of software-based facial recognition for payments to surge
