The Relevance of Untraceable Biometrics and Biometric Encryption: A Discussion of Biometrics for Authentication Purposes

Summary  Commissioner Cavoukian and Max Snijder, CEO, European Biometrics Forum co-authored this vision paper that discusses the need for secure storage and privacy protection for biometric reference data. Their discussion is meant to touch on the distinguishing features of the algorithmic process defined by BE, the terminology that best describes this process, and to provide a springboard for further thought leadership on the policies and guidelines needed to distinguish between conventional and untraceable biometrics schemes.
