Answer» Biometric TECHNOLOGY has been deployed for a number of reasons, including physical access control, protection from identity stealing, strong authentication for application access, secure check cashing (this technology can compare a user’s face against a database), voice-activated transactions and access to PDAs and other mobile devices and platforms. These applications use biometrics to PROVIDE uncompromising authentication. Biometrics will INCREASINGLY be deployed to meet the requirements of PERSONAL privacy legislation under GLB in FINANCIAL services and HIPAA in health care. Facial recognition viewing systems will be employed to identify criminals and will certainly be deployed as part of the homeland security initiatives.
