During the pandemic, technology has played an important role in keeping people's activities running and keeping people productive. In the midst of challenges that occur in the era of digital transformation such as misuse of personal data for data falsification and data leakage, technology is needed to keep personal data protected.
Facial biometric technology offers many ways and advantages to protect your digital identity. In this article, we reveal them.
The Role of Facial Biometric Technology for Identity Security
Biometric verification is the process of verifying identity using a person's biological identity, physical characteristics, or behavior, for example by scanning a user's face, movements, or possessions for digital security. This digital identity-verification system using biometrics aims to identify a person correctly and accurately.
Verification data is private and cannot be falsified by others. Unlike passwords, biometrics cannot be forgotten, lost, or easily copied. Once your biometric data is saved, all that’s needed is a scan without a password. The system will compare and analyze whether the user's biometrics match the stored data. After a successful match, the system will authorize the user to access it.
The latest biometric verification technology enables the verification process to be carried out digitally and automatically, making the process very short and smart. Encryption techniques in biometrics make it difficult for outsiders to replicate biometric data so as to prevent data falsification or data theft.
The biometric identity verification system offers many advantages that make it suitable for various situations where security guarantees are required, such as online transactions.
Advantages of Biometric Identity Verification System
- Modern biometric identity-verification systems can be used for massive-scale identity verification in a short time, making them very suitable for use by government institutions, banks, financial institutions, and activities that require a high level of security.
- Proper implementation and management of a biometric verification system greatly help maintain identity security.
- The biometric identity verification system no longer requires a long process involving many parties, making it very cost-efficient.
- The biometric verification system can only be accessed by one person and is unique. Thus, verification data is very personal and cannot be falsified by others.
- Biometric identity verification systems can also identify a person accurately and consistently. This helps to minimize errors in falsely “recognizing” someone as a similar-looking person or a fake.
- The biometric verification system is easily accessed because there is no need to touch verification tools such as cards or other devices. Simply show your biometric data, and identity verification can be done.
- Biometric identity verification technology can record all activities more precisely because it is carried out by a computer system. This means that every entry and exit access can be easily identified. This can increase the accountability of the security system.
