What are the surest ways to verify the identity of an individual?
Biometric security offers the surest way to verify an individual’s identity. It is the science of using biological properties, such as fingerprints, voice patterns, retinal and iris scans, faces, and even the chemical composition of an individual’s perspiration, to identify individuals to some form of database. The technology, such as TSSI’s fingerprint biometrics, verifies conclusively that individuals really are the persons they claim to be. We are asked many times questions regarding the uniqueness of biometrics such as fingerprints. No one has reliable data for the whole world and cannot therefore say that any biometric is truly unique. What we can say is that the probability of finding identical fingerprints within a typical user base is extremely low – and certainly enough to be regarded as a reliable identifier. Return to top.
