Biometric Trends & Innovations in 2020
Biometric Technology is the most reliable, accurate
and fastest way of authentication available today using unique biological
traits and characteristics ranging from fingerprints, facial attributes, palm
print, palm vein, eyes, and even extended to DNA and electrocardiogram
(ECG). Each with unique features and applications in almost every vertical.
The emergence of numerous technological advancements
in areas such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things(IoT), Cloud
Technology, Data Science, etc as well as continuous adoption of digital systems
in various platforms transformed the biometric technology to the next level.
Nowadays numerous innovative entities are budding up from Biometric Industry.
Biometric Trends in 2020:
Focus on Multimodal Biometrics
Systems based on multi-biometric technology not only
enhances security but also convenience of user verification offering versatile functions
and features. Today, there are more and more solutions have been released with
multi-biometric technology especially combinations of fingerprint, face and
palm recognition offering an additional layer of security and accuracy.
Higher Adoption of Hygienic User Verification
The recent ongoing public health issue has created
safety and hygiene concerns associated with conventional biometric systems.
Therefore, business organizations and public sectors will witness a wide spread
adopt of touchless biometric systems especially facial recognition biometric
systems owing to the fact that facial recognition systems offer high-end
performance in terms of both speed and accuracy without any direct physical
contact. Facial recognition also plays a huge part in Artificial Intelligence
(AI) based video surveillance and analytics.

Biometric-Based Transactions
Biometric systems are being integrated into devices
such as personnel computers or mobile phones for user-authentication for making
transactions. Biometric payment cards incorporate fingerprint scanning system into
payment cards offering hassle free money transactions without the need for PINs
or cardholder verification. Furthermore, biometric based platforms replace the
need for PIN code, token or password allowing instant access to users.
Integrated Security Solutions
The concept of Biometric Intergradation with
cybersecurity platforms as well as in other security solutions is being
implemented to enforce security. Given the scale of threat protection that need
to be employed, Artificial Intelligence (AI) based solutions along with
biometric technology will drive the future of cybersecurity. Biometric
technology in security solutions implement individuals’ unique biological
attributes in security system, thereby providing user-authentibility to
security platforms.
