Biometric identification security must also be accessible by everyone. Roughly two to three percent of the population is without a necessary body part used in biometric identification. Although this number may sound insignificant, if biometric identification is to be the new source of positive ID, it must be adapted to everyone. This author believes that in the near future new technology will allow biometric scanners to search biometric databases for any human biographical data scanned. Scanners and databases will be universal and unlimited.
Biometric identification offers obvious advantages in security.
Additionally, biometric identification systems use distinct human traits that can not be lost or forgotten. With improved security will come global acceptance. Large-scale mergers and strategic alliances between software, hardware, and biometric identification companies will benefit the companies, businesses, and private computer users. The Gartner Group expects that within three to four years, one-third of all corporations will have implemented some form of biometric identification system. Biometrics is the wave of the future, jump on now or be left behind.
