Biometric Use Cases: Choosing the Right Biometric for the Job

2005 November 15


Featured Research
Speaker Verification has received short shrift from security mavens, largely because it has been ill-positioned by the speech processing community and has been subject to misplaced concern over its relative “strength” compared with more expensive, hardware-intensive alternatives. In this report, Opus Research assesses the comparative strengths and weaknesses of four major biometrics: facial, fingerprint, iris and voice. Also presented are appropriate use cases for each biometric technique, including a case study of a working governmental Speaker Verification system.

Reports are available to registered users only.
