Applications of Digital Identity: Biometrics and Security
With the extensive number of data breaches in the past few years, traditional identification and knowledge-based authentication has become increasingly ineffective. This has the potential to lead to big and expensive problems for organizations. Digital Identity is considered as a solution for this issue, with more and more organizations integrating these systems in their products and services.
