The Open Biometrics Initiative challenges hard and fast classification
of biometric data. Numerous government and private agencies are
working towards large-scale biometric identification systems. Visitors
to the United States are now routinely finger-scanned at border
crossings. In the near future, no official government document will
be issued without a fingerprint or an eye-scan. But are you really
who they think you are?
The Open Biometrics Initiative cracks open the clean fabrication
of automated biometric identification at its root. The machine calculates
and prints characteristic points together with their coordinates,
type code (ridge ending or bifurcation) and color-coded likelihood as a probabilistic
IDcard for your reference. |
