Biometrics Industry, Strategies and Forecasts: 2001-2006


Description: People do not communicate through words alone. They use gesture, body language and tone of voice, and infer subtleties from the way others behave as they talk. Computers, by comparison, have much less to go on. Typed search engine commands, mouse clicks and cursor movement keys fall well short of the richness and emotion of human discourse. Passwords are neither satisfactory nor reliable as a means of authenticating a user identity. Breakthroughs in these areas benefit from long-standing research programs in biometrics. As biometrics becomes commercialized, computer security is better and less expensive. The science of biometrics includes recognition and identification through features such as eye characteristics, fingerprints, voice and even dimensions of your head or bodily odor and the control of computers using gestures or eye movements. To authenticate an identity to a system several methods of authentication have been developed. Criteria are composed of passwords, PINs, tokens, or biometrics. Passwords and PINs are currently the most inexpensive and commonly used methods of authentication although biometric-based and token-based systems provide more security. Biometric security applications are based on semiconductor or optically based direct contact fingerprint image capture devices. Other methods of biometric identification include retinal blood vessel or iris pattern recognition, hand geometry recognition, voice pattern recognition, and facial structure. Proprietary algorithms and customizable application software suites represent a primary industry trend. Microsoft and the International Biometric Industry Association (Ibia), BioAPI consortium represent standards forces driving market growth. Microsoft is integrating biometric authentication technology into its next version of Windows, thereby validating the technology. The Microsoft implementation sends a message to the market that this technology is ready for widespread adoption. Biometric solutions have not gained widespread commercial acceptance. The biometrics and Afis $392 million in 2000 is expected to reach $2.1 billion by 2006. The biometrics business at $110 million in 2000 is expected to reach $1.9 billion by 2006. Fingerprint technology represents over 50% of revenue. All the technologies are growing in popularity. Fingerprint and electronic signature verification represent the largest market segments by 2006. In 2000 the fingerprint biometric markets were at $57.8 million. The World Trade Center bombings are expected to drive demand for increased security worldwide. The biometrics market is expected to reach $907.6 million by 2006.
