Multimodal Biometrics

International Biometric Group is at the forefront of multimodal biometrics (or multiple biometrics) research. As part of IBG's involvement in the Information Technology Standards (INCITS) Technical Committee M1, Biometrics, IBG is actively involved in multimodal biometrics research.

Multimodal biometric systems are those that utilize more than one physiological or behavioral characteristic for enrollment, verification, or identification. In applications such as border entry/exit, access control, civil identification, and network security, multi-modal biometric systems are looked to as a means of (1) reducing false non-match and false match rates, (2) providing a secondary means of enrollment, verification, and identification if sufficient data cannot be acquired from a given biometric sample, and (3) combating attempts to spoof biometric systems through non-live data sources such as fake fingers. This report defines the basic variables and categories of variables involved in multimodal biometric systems, addresses the current body of knowledge regarding these systems, and surveys the market for current and emerging multimodal biometric solutions.
