Comment The action takes place in a UK where ID cards and biometrics have become a standard method of verifying identity. It's great that primetime TV wants to tackle subjects such as ID cards, biometrics and surveillance.

Comment Why should we think that a hand or thumb, lip or ear, face or body, voice or other biometric print will suffice as part of a complete electronic recognition system? The voice and other biometric data is easy to mimic or forge, and just about...

Comment We have all forms of biometrics to help identify individuals - facial, hand, eye, fingerprint and voice recognition, for starters. On 9/10 I flew out of Boston on a flight that was hijacked the next day and on 7/7 I had passed through several of...

Comment However, if you concatenate a series of very low cost biometrics that each gives you a poor error rate, it is possible to achieve a very high performance. You can try using facial and/or voice recognition but by comparison these are very crude and...

AS Analysis Another security inclusion on the list is Ross Anderson (48), cryptography expert at Cambridge University, who is analysing the biometrics underpinning the UK ID card system. He is a highly respected commentator on many areas of security and could...

Comment Trials of a biometric ID card for the UK have propelled biometrics beyond the realm of pure sci-fi but, asks Andy McCue, what are the viable biometric technologies out in the market and what value do they hold for both the public and private...

Comment The police's IT organisation has also just revealed how biometrics - fingerprints, palm prints, voice and facial recognition - are key to its crime-fighting capabilities over the next five years. With the inane goings-on of the tiresome bunch of...
