Researchers continue to chip away at notions that biometrics is the silver bullet for solving authentication problems. Andrew Jamieson: “Biometrics are kind of broken, but there are ways we can fix that” He says technology can be effective only with other factors, such as fingerprint, iris and other factors. Jamiesons: Biometrics can be used for good, but need to be coupled with something else else, like fingerprint, or skeleton key. In some cases, a fingerprint alone may be fine for other transactions with higher risks, but it can be escalated.”]
