e-Commerce and Internet 

Biometrics are being positioned as a solution for e-Commerce and Internet security, designed to ensure that only authorized individuals can access sensitive data or execute transactions. From the perspective of commercial or government institutions, however, building effective e-Commerce and Internet solutions is more complicated than replacing a password dialog with a biometric interface.  

Whether authenticating customers, employees, or citizens, institutions must consider the following factors:

• Providing compatibility across the range of incompatible fingerprint technologies deployed at the desktop level
• Accommodating individuals who cannot enroll or verify successfully, requiring fallback procedures
• Integrating biometric match decisions into payment and clearance systems
• Defining accuracy requirements for biometric systems
• Location of biometric data storage and processing for maximum availability
• Integrating biometric acquisition processes into existing interfaces
• Administrative and auditing functionality to manage biometric accounts and transactions
• Secure transmission of biometric information
• Compatibility with Windows and Unix webservers
• Processes for verifying initial identity claims
• Incorporating iris-scan, voice recognition, and other biometric technologies for account access
