A New Face for Biometric Security

This article from Physics.org explains:

"Biometric security implies different things to different people. For some, applications that identify individuals based on their physical and behavioural characteristics will lead to a safer and more secure world. For others, they elicit fears of an Orwellian scenario where governments and corporations run roughshod over personal privacy.

In a world where the threat of terrorist attacks, organised crime and lapses in data protection is ever present, however, the use of biometrics is increasingly being seen as the most efficient way to enhance security, whether in airports, government buildings or the local high street. "
