Mobile Biometrics in our mobile-driven world: trends, key vendors, challenges, threats, end-users, applications, technologies and more.
The digitalization of our spaces, working conditions and living conditions
leads to unmatched facilities, but also unmatched to threats and challenges related
to privacy and security.
A set of technologies, best practices, and methodologies are already available
to help us in real-time to deal with these realities.
Biometrics is used for authentication purposes as it can provide an extra

According to Research and Markets, an increase in identity and data theft
is one of the major drivers in the market.
Lack of accuracy is one of the major challenges in the market. Research and
Markets states that, certain accuracy issues of biometric solutions lead to
unauthorized access; and also, vendors undergo several trials of a product
prior to its launch in the market, to achieve high accuracy and low error rate,
which increases the price of the product.
