Asia and the Middle East, in particular, are expected to be the largest global markets for biometric products and services by the year 2012.
Existing modes of biometrics will be on display at the Intersec trade show, scheduled for mid-January in Dubai, and planners are expecting representatives from numerous industries including government, health care, telecom, and many others.

Biometric Encryption: A Positive-Sum Technology that Achieves Strong Authentication, Security and Privacy |
Author : Ann Cavoukian, Ph.D., Alex Stoianov, Ph.D.
Company : Information and Privacy Commissioner/Ontario |
This paper discusses privacy-enhanced uses of biometrics, with a particular focus on the privacy and security advantages of Biometric Encryption (BE) over other uses of biometrics. The paper is intended to engage a broad audience to consider the merits of the Biometric Encryption approach to verifying identity, protecting privacy, and ensuring security. Our central message is that BE technology can help to overcome the prevailing zero-sum mentality, namely, that adding privacy to identification and information systems will necessarily weaken security and functionality. |
