Biometric

The global Biometrics as a Service market is valued at around USD 3.20 billion in 2019 and is expected to grow with a healthy growth rate of over 22.7% during the forecast period 2020-2027. Biometrics as a service has facilitated cloud-based authentication and identification for a business to identify an individual through their behavioral and biological characteristics. The approach offers multiple advantages such as accessibility and easy implementation at any network endpoint and a reduced subscription cost. Additionally, biometrics as a service is gaining popularity because it is much more secure than traditional forms of entry codes such as locks, PINs, and passwords. This technology also relies on statistical, computational, mathematical and imaging methods to map an individual’s detailed identity for high-risk security clearances. In addition, the growth of the market is observed due to the increasing use of mobile devices and the growing demand for cost-effective solutions to access advanced biometric capabilities.

Millions of exam candidates per year will be biometrically verified to take common exams administered by the National Testing Agency (NTA) such as the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) and Joint Entrance Examinations (JEE) to attend certain college courses, Médianama reports.

The outlet saw tender documents from a government agency with equipment requirements for candidate screening, including a handheld facial recognition scanner for 100 candidates. Live video surveillance and a search service are also up for tender.

The screening is intended to detect identity theft and would require iris and fingerprint verification as well as facial recognition.

The exams concerned are for entering certain types of university courses or for working in certain higher education roles. This could involve as many as five million candidates heading to testing centers for computerized exams. Other types of exams have recently announced their intention to perform biometric verification, further increasing the number of applicants.

The report indicates a push by the Indian government to introduce facial recognition in its departments and institutions due to Covid-19. It has also been applied in Covid-19 vaccination centers without legal order.

Activists point to the lack of laws in India to regulate the use of personal data. Lawyers insist that consent must be obtained from applicants.

Florida pilots driver’s licenses and biometric digital ID cards. Test systems and operations, however, might be irrelevant.

After years of feeding residents a buffet of anti-tech, anti-big-brother, and anti-big government paranoia, the state of Florida and local politicians pushing for mobile driver’s licenses might want to test their vulnerabilities. safe parts. Triggered constituents could appear with more than forks and torches.

A Government Technology article indicates that the Florida Smart ID app could be ready for cellphones before the end of the year. A code or fingerprint will be required to access the application, and only dedicated scanners will be able to verify its legitimacy.

A recent law mandated the Florida Motor Vehicle Agency to create a state-compliant ID that can be presented to law enforcement officials and retailers as a legal document. As with most similar efforts, the phones would display a QR code or barcode.

French manufacturing conglomerate Thales Group handles identity management, according to Government Technology.

Anyone who ticks boxes for potential hot spots capable of derailing the program, checks the foreign – French – involvement.

Steven Purdy, a Thales marketing executive cited by the publication, addressed privacy concerns, which cannot be overstated in a red state like Florida.

“I would say the privacy angle is an important angle,” Purdy said.

The data shared during the display of the code will be controlled by the holder. Few organizations would need all the information, such as biometrics, that a traffic cop needs.

Lost devices, according to the state, can be reported to the auto dealership, seldom recognized as the easiest service to use, and the app will be wiped remotely and “almost instantly.”

The information published on the automobile agency’s website makes no mention of the security of personal data managed by the State or its agent, nor of transaction records.

Summary

• More than 800 hospitals have sued the NHIF for biometric registration and the installation of electronic claims systems that aim to combat fraud and speed up the payment of medical claims.
• In a dossier filed under an emergency certificate, the 850 establishments under the Association of Rural Private Hospitals said the NHIF board of directors announced the changes without consultation and gave brief notice of compliance.

More than 800 hospitals have sued the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) for biometric registration and the installation of electronic claims systems that aim to combat fraud and speed up payment of medical claims.

In a dossier filed under an emergency certificate, the 850 establishments under the Association of Rural Private Hospitals said the NHIF board of directors announced the changes without consultation and gave brief notice of compliance, preventing the public from accessing medical services.

The NHIF performs mass biometric registration of members and deploys the electronic complaints management system in its contracted health facilities.

“The memorandum / instructions, despite a significant economic burden for the petitioners, were not formulated through the public participation of the petitioners and the NHIF did not propose a regulatory impact assessment in accordance with Article 6 of the Statutory Instruments Act, which makes the memorandum / instructions illegal. , null and void, ”says the petition.

Operators of healthcare facilities in 43 counties argue that biometric registration and electronic complaint systems are not recognized by the NHIF Act and its regulations.

Through lawyer Jennifer Wachira, the lobby wants the court to issue protective orders against the changes announced on June 14, while waiting for the case to be decided.

The NHIF has yet to respond to the complaint.

Hospitals claim that the online platform would incur hardware costs for the purchase of biometric scanners and gadgets, as well as Internet biometric software license costs and e-claim.

Biometric identification and verification mode means members will no longer use their national ID card and NHIF card as their identification mode.

Hospitals said the public with valid NHIF cards would therefore be decommissioned at facilities that did not have biometric systems installed.

It also means that operators who run health centers in underserved rural and urban populations like Kangemi, Kayole in Nairobi and Kisauni in Mombasa will not be able to file payment claims through the manual system prescribed and mandatory by law. .

“The petitioners are concerned that their already filed manual claims will not be resolved by the NHIF, as it has indicated that it will not process any manual claims in the future,” the petition reads.

The electronic complaints system as installed allows NHIF to access medical information belonging to the patient which is confidential between the health care provider and the patient, contrary to the provisions of the health law.

“We are concerned with the manner in which the NHIF has chosen to implement the electronic claims and biometric login system,” RUPHA President Brian Lishenga said in an affidavit under oath.

The association has complained in the past that NHIF payments to hospitals were irregular and small.

In late 2020, the company introduced “Amazon One” as a “free, contactless service that allows you to use your palm to pay, enter, or identify yourself.” It works because palm prints are like fingerprints in that everyone’s fingerprint is unique. As such, palm prints can be scanned using “Amazon’s proprietary imaging and computer vision algorithms” to capture an image which is then linked to a user’s Amazon account.

While it can save time in stores or at events while still being contactless and COVID-safe, allowing Amazon to collect your palm print is at least a cause for concern, whether for individuals. privacy or security concerns, or both. First, the company has been oddly insistent on biometrics in the past, such as when Amazon wanted delivery drivers to accept biometric monitoring. Beyond that, the company doesn’t have a very good track record when it comes to data security, as long as it isn’t sold outright.

A London-based biometric authentication company has seen the number of people verified using its technology increase 15 times in the first six months of 2021 compared to the same period last year.

iProov offers facial biometric authentication online, working with governments, financial institutions and other businesses to securely verify customer identities.

Founded in 2012, iProov’s patented technology ensures a user’s real presence online to ensure they are the right fit.

Growth was driven by demand from organizations needing to verify the identity of users online to prevent fraud.

Andrew Bud, Founder and CEO of iProov commented: “The dramatic acceleration of the digital identity market, caused by the pandemic, has demonstrated our market leadership based on our unparalleled usability, inclusiveness and resilient security, and the extraordinary scalability of our platform. “

The company established a global presence with offices in the UK, US and Singapore, growing its global team by 25% to 85.

IProov customers include the US Department of Homeland Security, the UK Home Office and the UK National Health Service (NHS).

As of 2020, iProov has allowed users in England to create an NHS connection remotely and securely.

A user scans their ID, such as a passport or valid driver’s license, and then performs a brief iProov facial check to confirm their identity, giving them secure access to the NHS app’s services.

As of May 2021, this includes the COVID vaccination status service.
