biometrics and privacy

This book presents perspectives on the issues of security and privacy in biometrics from international experts. It is meant for students, practitioners, and researchers. The book reviews some of the recent developments related to increasing privacy in biometrics, illustrated with real-life scenarios. The first of 15 chapters introduces the main

Matching a biometric stored on a local device with the user can lower the privacy risk in comparison with matching against a centrally stored database of

This conceptual paper defines and gives examples of biometrics, explains how biometric tracking is currently used (e.g. to predict IQ), and presents innovative future uses of biometric tracking (e.

Using biometric technology to identify and monitor people raises human rights concerns. In particular, biometrics are often associated with intrusions into privacy. The personal and permanent nature of the physiological features that are analyzed by a biometric system raising an inherent tension with privacy interests.

Biometric technology, which uses unique physical or behavioral characteristics to identify individuals, has rapidly advanced in recent years. From fingerprint and facial recognition to iris scanning and voice analysis, biometrics offer a highly accurate and efficient method of identification. However, as the use of biometrics becomes more

Biometric technology offers a powerful security tool, but its ethical use and protection of privacy are paramount. The intersection of AI, secure data storage, and ethical considerations will shape the future of biometrics. Achieving a balance between convenience, security, and privacy is essential for responsible biometric adoption.

In 2024, increased adoption of biometric surveillance systems, such as the use of AI-powered facial recognition in public places and access to government services,

Biometrics can help address the inherent security weakness of cryptography in identifying a genuine user. However, biometrics themselves are limited and will be a permanent loss if compromised

In the first quarter of 2022, no fewer than seven states – California, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Missouri and New York – introduced new biometric privacy regulations. Although there are variations in the language and force of each state''s law, the general trend is for states to approach or match Illinois'' BIPA standards.

Defining Biometrics. Biometrics refers to a process of recording, measuring, and analyzing a range of human physiological features. The scope of features to which biometrics may be directed is "all encompassing, and includes appearance, behavior, and cognitive state" [1]. Certain physiological features are permanent, unique, and universal.

This book highlights recent research advances on biometrics using new methods such as deep learning, nonlinear graph embedding, fuzzy approaches, and ensemble learning. Included are special biometric technologies related to privacy and security issues, such as cancellable biometrics and soft biometrics. The book also focuses on several emerging

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) plays a vital role in protecting individuals'' privacy rights and ensuring responsible handling of biometric data. Data protection consultants can guide you through the complexities of GDPR compliance in relation to biometric data. This article examines the intersection of GDPR and biometric data

Biometrics can be defined as the most practical means of identifying and authenticating individuals in a reliable and fast way through unique biological characteristics. Of course, increased public acceptance, massive accuracy gains, a rich offer, and falling prices of sensors, I.P. cameras, and software make installing biometric systems easier.

The emerging field of privacy-preserving biometrics is attracting significant attention, as a paradigm that can address several of the key concerns in cryptographic authentication processes,

Biometrics are unique physical characteristics, such as fingerprints, that can be used for automated recognition. At the Department of Homeland Security, biometrics are used for detecting and preventing illegal entry into the U.S., granting and administering proper immigration benefits, vetting and credentialing, facilitating legitimate

Biometrics and the Challenges to Privacy. Introduction. Canadians are witnessing a growing interest among government and private-sector organizations in adopting

Biometric technology offers a powerful security tool, but its ethical use and protection of privacy are paramount. The intersection of AI, secure data storage, and

As new biometric tracking technologies emerge, there is an inconsistency in understanding biometrics and its impacts on consumers, the market and society during the ever-growing artificial intelligence (AI) era. Through an example of a novel application of this technology that differs the prices of offerings (goods and services) based on facial

As new biometric tracking technologies emerge, there is an inconsistency in understanding biometrics and its impacts on consumers, the market and society during the ever-growing artificial intelligence (AI) era.

Abstract. Security and privacy in biometric systems have been traditionally seen as two requirements hindering each other. Only in the recent past researchers have started investigating it as a joint optimization problem which needs to be tackled from both a legal, procedural, and a technological point of view.

August 30, 2019 | Purdue Global Law School. A recent study by Spiceworks suggests that by 2020, nearly 90% of businesses will be using biometric technologies for a variety of security and business purposes. The proliferation of these technologies has led to a significant spike in legislation and litigation related to the use and protection of biometric

So, biometric privacy protection hardly concerns such epochal philosophical issues. In every-day life people are hardly concerned with the commodification of the body and similar matters, rather they may experience some very unpleasant situations when they are identified through biometrics.

Biometric privacy protection should focus on bodily and psychological integrity, preventing those technology conditions and operating practices

ISO. In plain English, Biometrics is a way for machines to recognize people based on characteristics such as the patterns of blood vessels in their eyes or the way they type. In the last few years, Biometric Recognition Systems have popped up everywhere. You probably have one in your pocket right now.

Facebook, Inc. reached a conclusion when Facebook agreed to a $650 million settlement, one of the largest consumer privacy settlements in U.S. history, to resolve claims it collected user biometric data without consent. It was not until October 2022 that the first-ever jury verdict in a BIPA class action lawsuit was handed down in

This is pretty much where we are with data privacy—and adding biometrics into the mix has created another layer of personal data that hasn''t really

Abstract: This work proposes a novel application of digital twins in the field of biometric security. Biometric systems have become widespread but their use carries risks of privacy invasion attacks due to the sensitive nature of biometric data. To address these concerns, we propose creating biometric clones for digital access and authentication systems.

Although biometrics provides both protection against fraud and other crime and the protection of people''s private lives, the emphasis of this article will be placed on the privacy aspects. The article is laid out as follows. First of all, three examples are given containing elements that will later be placed in a broader perspective.

The emerging field of privacy-preserving biometrics is attracting significant attention, as a paradigm that can address several of the key concerns in cryptographic authentication

When it comes to data security and privacy, "it''s really important for us to be very transparent because we need the teams and the fans to trust us," Boehm says. "As with any new technology, people are unsure at first. You need to build that trust so that people see the value and aren''t worried about the potential downsides.".
