A Joint Effort
In today’s posting, I bring you some pretty exciting news. Over the course of the past year, John Trader of M2SYS, LLC, and I, have collaborated on a white paper which examines the perception of Biometrics here in the United States. As I have written about before on many occasions, the United States lags heavily behind the rest of the world when it comes to the usage and implementation of Biometrics. This white paper provides specific reasons why this is the situation. Here is a synopsis:
“In a world driven by individuality, your identity is what sustains you as a unique being on this planet. Increasingly, personal identification is playing a major role in the products and services we consume globally. Many countries across the world are turning to biometric technology as a means of proving the true identity of an individual. Whether it be in banking, social services, border security, passports, voting registration, academics, workforce management, healthcare, access control or a host of other vertical markets and services, these countries have been quick to embrace the benefits that biometrics offers and its ability to prove the identity of an individual beyond a shadow of a doubt. Despite the advantages that biometric technology offers, why has the adoption rate been so slow here in the U.S.? What are some of the factors that cause our society to be skeptical about using biometrics for personal identity? This White paper examines some of the issues and societal ideologies that hamper the growth of biometrics as a viable identification technology in the United States.”
