Biometrics and Self Sovereign Identity How can biometrics help improve accessibility to critical services? Instead of putting PII and biometrics in the same database, we need to put them in different places, but prove that there's a link between the holder of a biometric cred and the holder of other PII. single /development/biometrics/ https://decentralized-id.com/development/biometrics/

Explainer

  • My Voice is my Password 2022-04-21 State of Identity

    How can biometrics help improve accessibility to critical services? On this weeks State of Identity podcast, host Cameron DAmbrosi is joined by Chief Fraud Prevention Officer for security and biometrics at Nuance, Simon Marchand. Tune in for their discussion about the cutting edge of biometric voice recognition technology, and its potential to transform identity verification and the user experience across channels.

  • Survey Finds Customers Frustrated With Passwords, Open to Biometrics 2021-10-14 FindBiometrics

    Passwords were a major point of contention in that regard, with a strong majority (68 percent) of consumers indicating that it is difficult to remember and key in a large number of passwords. Nearly half (44 percent) believe that biometric authenticators are easier to use, while 34 percent would prefer to use them as their primary means of identity

  • Exploring Facial Biometrics 2020-12-16 DIACC

    Policymakers, privacy advocates, and regulators understand that new technologies are being added to existing facial biometric matching to render leaked personal data useless and ensure that any leaked biometric data is both isolated and encrypted to reduce the impacts on individuals from an identity fraud perspective.

Guidance

  • Guidance on the Acceptable Use of Biometrics DIACC Special Interest Group Insights 2022-01-13 DIACC

    With input from public and private sector DIACC members and liaisons, the following guidance was created as a recommendation that the DIACCs Trust Framework Expert Committee (TFEC) agreed to consider. Specified business, legal, and technical process requirements will be identified and considered by the TFEC for inclusion in future versions of the PCTF.

Policy

Standards

  • Veridium Advocates for Use of NIST-approved Contactless Fingerprint Technologies 2021-08-02 FindBiometrics Veridium is encouraging more organizations to embrace contactless fingerprint technologies, especially now that the NIST has laid out comprehensive guidelines for those interested in doing so. Those guidelines debuted in March of this year, with the release of NIST Special Publication 500-334.

Development

  • Biometric and digital identity by Robert Mitwicki / Adrian Gropper
    • Biometric Health Card

      The novel concept is to add a quantized face that is still human-verifiable to the digital credential presentation. The hash of the quantized face, but not the face itself, would be signed and verifiable as part of the digital credential represented by the QR code.

Company

  • Imageware to add Biometrics to Blockchain Powered Self Sovereign Identity (SSI) 2021-10-24 “As individual safety and privacy concerns become more prevalent in our daily lives, its vital that we have better, more decentralized methods of giving individuals autonomy over their identities. By joining the Decentralized Identity Foundation and Trust Over IP groups, well be able to leverage their network and resources in our efforts to further develop a portfolio of SSI integrated biometric solutions.”

Product

  • Biometrics come to verifiable credentials with Applied Recognition and Sovrin Foundation 2021-05 Biometric Update

    Making wallet available, with support from companies like Applied Rec supplying biometrics that people can use for free, therefore extends Sovrins mission of supporting SSI. The companies generous enough to donate their technology to the wallet get commercial upside from next steps of service for banks and other organizations leveraging the open-source wallet, Raczkowski says.
