All online identification services come with a risk. Passwords can be figured out, fingerprints can be copied and face recognition software can be tricked. As criminals keep finding new ways of circumventing safety measures, cybersecurity companies need to constantly develop to stay ahead. By harnessing individuals' distinctive physical or behavioral characteristics, biometrics has led to a new era of enhanced security and unparalleled user experiences but these simple technologies are no longer sufficient. In this blog post, we uncover the great advantages of Live Biometrics in the realm of digital identification and discover how 12iD app use these technologies to deliver a secure and frictionless user journey.

Unparalleled Security at Your Fingertips

Biometric authentication offers a higher level of security compared to traditional identification methods. Physical characteristics, such as facial features, fingerprints, or iris patterns, are unique to each individual, making it extremely difficult for imposters to replicate or forge. However, this is changing and what is safe today will not be enough tomorrow. Through the strategic incorporation of Live Biometrics, where the user’s fingerprints or face are compared live online instead of stored on a device, the risks of unauthorized access, identity theft, and fraudulent activities are significantly diminished. This ensures the safeguarding of highly sensitive personal and financial information. Furthermore, each individual using the service is uniquely identified thus eliminating the risk of for instance children playing with their parent's phones being able to access sensitive information and services.

Live Biometric Authentication not only provides uncompromising security but also delivers the same unparalleled convenience and ease of use as previous generations of biometrics. Users can effortlessly verify their identities with a simple touch of a finger or a mere glance at a camera, eliminating the need to struggle with intricate passwords or carry physical identification documents. This frictionless user experience not only enhances customer satisfaction but also catalyzes the wider adoption of digital services, fostering a seamless and intuitive engagement between individuals and technology.

Securing the Digital Landscape with 12iD app
