Abstract:

Many online and mobile apps are used to manage highly valuable data, such as financial transactions, personally identifiable information (PII) or intellectual property. It is vital therefore to secure access to these apps through strong authentication. Yet the current widespread reliance on usernames and passwords presents a growing significant burden on users and businesses – delivering a poor user experience, inadequate security, spiralling costs, and lower revenues and profits. Biometric authentication presents a strategic way to overcome these deficiencies, which combines an improved user experience and higher security.
