PRIVACY BY DESIGN SOLUTIONS FOR BIOMETRIC ONE-TO-MANY IDENTIFICATION SYSTEMS

Over the last two decades there has been an increase in the interest in, and uptake of, automated biometric systems.

We see the use of contemporary biometric systems being implemented throughout the world in areas such as national ID systems, border security control, crime prevention, fraud detection, forensics, war zone applications, attendance recording, access control and financial transactions.
