Biometric devices are used for security identification and authentication. These devices can recognize a user and then correctly prove whether the identified user holds the identity they claim to have. Biometric security systems use automated techniques, in which human intervention is reduced to the minimum to recognize and then confirm an individual's identity based on distinctive physiological or behavioral features, such as fingerprints, face pictures, iris recognition, and voice recognition.In biometric authentication technology, an individual’s characteristics data is compared with the same individual's biometric template. The aim is to confirm whether the individuals hold a resemblance to their claimed identity. Furthermore, the systems compare physical or behavioral characteristics to data in a database that has been identified.
Authentication is established when both sets of data align. Biometric authentication is often used to control access to buildings, rooms, and computers.
Biometric technologies are necessary during COVID-19 and become even more important to track the spread of the virus. The impact of COVID-19 is not limited to face recognition. As noncontact technologies such as face and iris recognition are now being used to expand government protection, surveillance, and screening. In contrast, applications that rely on fingerprint and vein recognition modalities are suffering significant losses. Furthermore, the data stored on cloud is sensitive to the shared environment or public and needs a strong authentication and security system, which is provided by the biometric technology.
Government and law enforcement agencies have also started adopting cloud-based biometric technologies, such as cloud-based Automated Biometrics Identification System (ABIS). Thus, there is a huge growth potential for key players offering biometric systems. In addition, major players in the biometric technology market have launched their products based on the biometric technology. For instance, Suprema, a global leader in biometric security and access control, announced the launch of an upgraded version of its X-Station 2 access control terminal, which supports fingerprint authentication. In May 2021, Suprema launched four models of X-Station 2, a next-generation “versatile intelligent terminal” that supports a variety of authentication methods from mobile access cards to RFID cards, QR codes and barcodes. The newest X-Station 2 model comes equipped with a fingerprint recognition module that provides more options for customers.
Moreover, the increasing crime and privacy intrusion rate have raised concerns among people and organizations to secure their assets and personal details. To provide standardized security with the use of advanced technology, biometric solutions have witnessed increased usage in the market. However, the initial investments for biometric technology development and the costs of devices are high owing to heavy R&D activities and complications related to data analysis through an embedded device. The costs associated with maintenance are also critical. Therefore, these are some of the factors that limit the biometric technology market growth. On the contrary, the need for a strong authentication system, which can be fulfilled by multilevel biometric solutions that use several different levels to make it more secure and accountable. In addition, biometric technology plays a vital role in e-commerce through smart cards, keystroke identification, digital certificate, Kerberos authentication, and others. Therefore, these factors are increasing the adoption of biometric technology, which is expected to grow tremendously in the coming years.
