Updated: 0 views

Biometric systems use physical or behavioural traits for automated recognition.

Verify or identify

Checking a claimed identity differs from searching among many records. FinFly recommends identifying the actual task.

Data handling

Check storage, deletion and alternative access methods. Avoid unknown intermediaries requesting identity images.
