Biometrics in everyday life
The alarm goes off and you unlock your phone with your fingerprint. Today’s a big day: you and your wife are taking the kids to Disney in Orlando (USA) for the very first time. Before heading out, you log in to the Social Security website with your ID card and facial...

Privacy by design in biometrics
Like the old handwritten letters that carried promises and secrets only their recipients could truly understand, some principles never go out of fashion. Biometrics shares that spirit. It is a unique language that identifies us and, without care and privacy, it...

What Are Renewable Biometric References (RBRs)?

How to achieve a sustainable digital identity that enhances cyber resilience
We care about recycling, reducing water consumption, protecting forests and making our cities more efficient. Nevertheless, there is an invisible ecosystem that we hardly ever think about: the digital ecosystem. Every system leaves a footprint that we cannot see, but...

Homomorphic encryption in biometrics
When a system recognises you by your face or voice, you are not simply showing it something. You are handing over personal data. Data that you cannot change or revoke, and which, by its very nature, should never be available in readable format, even for an instant....

How to implement identity verification at universities
Starting university used to mean more than just clicking a button. It began with a folder. A thick ring binder, packed with photocopies, printed forms, passport-sized photos, and sticky notes saying “leave at the secretary’s office”. The queues and the folder were...

The Future of Identity: Wallets, Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI), Regulation, and Innovation
We are moving towards a unified digital market where the future of digital identity plays a critical role in building trust and securing remote services. So central has it become that digital identity is now a strategic domain — and a global battleground. On the...

Post-COVID Identity Verification: 5 Years Later
On March 14, 2020, Spain declared a state of alarm because of the global COVID-19 pandemic. The goal was to curb the spread of the virus throughout the national territory. This situation puzzled many people. It was new and affected us in many ways: economically,...

Fake IDs with generative AI, the new trend of identity theft?
El Rincón del Vago, that refuge to which many of us resorted in our adolescence to replicate work, was the scene of a glorious era of shortcuts, where the lack of effort was justified by the need to avoid boring tasks. It was a clear example of how copying content...

What is multimodal biometrics?
When we hear the term "multimodal," it often brings to mind transportation. This concept involves using a combination of different methods, such as road, rail, sea, and air transport, to move goods from one location to another. This system relies on integrating...

KYC for Robots: How to verify the identity of a non-human AI agent?
An autonomous neural network applies for a commercial loan. A corporate avatar signs a contract on behalf of a company. Your digital twin interacts with partners on a video call, standing in for you. A trading algorithm negotiates derivatives in global markets. These...

What are the dangers of screens and social media for children?
Recently, I gave a talk to parents at my children's school about the impact of screens, technology, and social media on children. It really made me reflect on the importance of strengthening identity verification processes to protect young people, as many of the...

Women in Science and Artificial Intelligence
The role of women in science has historically been underestimated despite their crucial contributions. Long before the digital age, Ada Lovelace envisioned a machine capable of performing programmable calculations. In 1843, she wrote that such a device could follow...

Multiple vendors or single digital identity provider?
Imagine you have just bought a house. Now, you need to furnish it to make it functional. You have two options. You can choose to visit a business group or establishment that offers you everything: beds, sofas, tables, electrical appliances and decoration. All are...

Cloud vs on-premise in identity verification solutions
The choice between a cloud-based identity verification solution and an on-premise option (cloud vs on-premise) is often a challenging decision for technical leaders in many businesses and organisations. While on-premise solutions provide a sense of greater control by...

What is driving licence verification?
We have all been stopped by the police at some point to ask for our driving licence while we were driving. That awkward moment when, even though you know that everything is in order, you get nervous: you look for your licence, hand it over and wait for the officer to...
