FindBiometrics is reporting live from Las Vegas this week, where the biometrics and digital identity industries are converging on Money20/20 USA – the world’s preeminent financial services conference. On Monday FindBiometrics President Peter O’Neill spoke with Matt Thompson, SVP Civil Identity, IDEMIA.

The live interview begins with a discussion of IDEMIA’s efforts to digitize and mobilize the driver’s license, and what that means for identity at large. Thompson goes on to highlight IDEMIA mobile ID pilots in Oklahoma, Iowa and Delaware – where governments are testing out totally digital citizen identification. O’Neill and Thompson conclude by discussing IDEMIA’s plans to roll out its mobile ID solution as well as some of the larger challenges facing the identity industry – including the importance of providing optimal user experience in biometric liveness detection.
