Biometrics is the analysis of unique biological and physiological characteristics with the aim of confirming a person’s identity. The five most common types of biometric identifiers are: fingerprints, facial, voice, iris, and palm or finger vein patterns.
As an example we are cooperating with banks that need your biometric data in order to provide their various services remotely. If you want to open an account or take out a loan then you used to have to go to a branch, whereas now you can access many services over the phone. Prime Technologies is developing up to date applications in the use of Biometric technologies.
Historically, applications using biometrics have been initiated by authorities for military access control, criminal or civil identification under a tightly regulated legal and technical framework. Today, we cover sectors, including banking, retail, and mobile commerce, which are demonstrating a real appetite for the benefits of biometrics. Let’s quickly review the most typical use cases of biometric technologies that we are involved.
– Law enforcement and public security
– Military
– Border, travel, and migration control
– Civil identification
– Healthcare and subsidies
– Physical and logical access
– Commercial applications
