Expert Biometrics Interviews Top This Week’s Most Popular Stories

This week’s roundup of FindBiometrics’ most popular articles is a chatty one.

Two of the week’s most popular posts were interviews. One is a wide-ranging discussion with TECH5 executives and founders Machiel Van Der Harst and Rahul Parthe; and the other is an audio interview with NEC’s Benji Hutchinson, conducted on FindBiometrics’ ID Talk podcast:

Decentralization of data is key for maintaining personal privacy, data protection and digital security. Yet, today’s solutions fall short. Centralized databases are prone to hacks and device-based solutions leave gaping security holes that fraudsters exploit. Anonybit goes to the root of the problem – how biometric data is stored and managed. Instead of building higher walls around centralized databases or storing biometrics on devices only to use passcodes as a fallback, we ask, what if there was no data to find? What if there was no biometric template to store? Welcome to Anonybit. The world’s first FULLY decentralized biometrics, where personal privacy meets digital security. https://anonybit.io/
