3. Application of Biometrics
Industry
Application
Financial Services
Biometric implementations will be attributable to new transactional and percentage based models, as biometrics are used to secure and provide non-repudiation for medium to high end financial transactions. Furthermore, this revenue will likely be generated by non-biometric companies with broad enough reach to enable transactional biometric infrastructure for financial institutions.
Health Care
The use of biometrics in health care environments are already being deployed in modest, employee-facing implementations. Areas of increased biometric revenue will come from protection of patient data on internal networks, customer facing applications, and biometric software
Law Enforcement
Law enforcement applications of biometric technology revenues have been almost entirely attributable to deployment of AFIS systems, used in local, state, and national levels – domestically and abroad to identify suspects in criminal applications
Government Applications
Usage will be derived mainly from Citizen ID programs, although the Government Sector will be a major adopter of biometrics for many applications

4. Application of Biometrics
Industry
Application
Citizen Identification
Identify and verify the identity of individuals in their interaction with government agencies for the purposes of card issuance, voting, immigration, social services, or employment background checks.
Travel and Transportation
Has been deployed for employee physical access and piloted for frequent travelers. Programs such as INSPASS expedite passenger movement through customs using hand scans.
Surveillance
Identify or verify the identity of individuals present in a given space or area. The biometric is used to complement or replace authentication methods such as manual monitoring of cameras.
Criminal Identification
Identify or verify the identity or a suspect, detainee, or individual in a law enforcement application.
