What is the reason for the fingerprint recognition technology being used in the SMART card?
The financial industry is attempting to convert the current system into SMART cards because the arena of financial securities is under threat from forgers and other violators. But people in the industry understand that the SMART card is not the only method of stopping them. Hence, they started seeking a safer and more convenient security system, which used the biometric authentication system. In addition, the SMART card holds an internal microprocessor and memory, enabling users to store it in a main computer, without biometric information, without concern for individual privacy. Fingerprint is the most used authentication system, even though there are other alternatives for biometric information such as iris patterns, face and fingerprints.
