Face as password.

In a world of 7.9 billion people, the most common thing all of us have is a face and interestingly it's unique for each individual. In Fact, we evolved to be unique. Yes, our highly visual social interactions have driven this evolutionary trend. This uniqueness of every individual's face is what makes it the best password one can have. With rising security concerns over digital identities and over 5.03 billion people involved in digital activity managing digital identities is very challenging. Can our face solve this issue?  With facial recognition technology, it does.

Facial recognition technology uses human faces to identify, verify and authenticate to give access. The technology matches face from a digital image or video frame across a database of faces by measuring facial characteristics like width between the eyes, depth measurements et cetera. Simply put it is identity verification and identity authentication. Let us know more about Identity Verification and Authentication to better understand.

Identity verification is the process of verifying data provided by a person to prove identity. This verification is done by comparing the data against alternative authorised data. The data required can vary widely based on the need for verification. In Facial recognition technology, the face from a digital image or video is verified with the sources the verifier has.

Identity authentication is the next step to identity verification. Identity authentication is all about validation of the verified identity to make sure the person whose identity it is, is accessing. Identity authentication is usually done in three ways:

Something we know, like a password, knowledge or information. 

Something we have, like a device that gets a one-time password or authentication token.

Something we are, like our face, fingerprint, and DNA.

There are several aspects of authentication to be considered and authentication always needs to be as efficient as possible. Various companies/institutions verify and authenticate for varying needs and risk levels. A Financial organisation dealing with financial transactions will need a level of id verification and authentication and a food delivery service organisation doing authentication and verification for granting access will need another level of id verification and authentication. The beauty of Facial recognition technology is, it can cater to these diverse security needs without compromising on security.

With customers needing more and more security than ever in everything they do, companies and organisations need to adapt to the latest technology like facial recognition and Face is the password to all the current and future sophisticated security concerns.

Facedapter has pushed the efficiency of Facial Recognition Solution further by being the world’s first biometric company that requires no database to identify people nor the requirement of new data base. To know more Contact us here or book a demo now.
