0 the use of detailed information about someone's body, for example the patterns of colour in their eyes, in order to prove who they are: --
There are those who disagree with the previous scheme, which did not include biometrics, identifiers and safeguards.
The use of biometrics is a tricky question from the point of view of data protection.
Biometrics are the most effective way to ensure that we can prove someone's identity.
I am convinced that it should only be possible to use biometrics with very great care and discernment.
We strongly believe that biometrics in passports can be used only for verifying the authenticity of the document or the identity of the holder.
It is to biometrics that we now turn for a system that may give 'absolute verification' of a system user.
It would seem, however, that behavioural biometrics may also prove fruitful.
If the first mass deployment of biometrics founders, the public and therefore leaders of government might just call it quits.
