Multiple forms of biometrics to underpin contextual security authorisation

Various forms and combinations of biometric identification will be used to improve identification and authorisation, with each set of biometric identification methods specifically suited to the context of the application, says encryption and security multinational Gemalto Innovation marketing and communication manager and biometrics expert Xavier Larduinat. The required security architecture and systems to handle the increased use of biometric identity verification in commerce – specifically the security and encryption key management systems – are already in place and being used to secure commercial transactions, for example in the financial sector, he explains.
