Imagine not having to remember log in IDs and passwords, and using a fingerprint or retinal scan for all of your log ins. It is called biometrics, and it is already happening. For example, the newest iOS and Android phones use facial recognition to unlock the phones and authorize transactions. Although this new technology is convenient, it comes at a price. For biometrics to work there has to be a database of biometric scans to match against. That leads to questions about the security of stored biometric data. This article will look at the present and future of biometrics and the legal and privacy issues involved.
