The demand for security services in all aspects will continue to increase, with increasing awareness of the care of property - whether in the form of commercial or private, and public.
Equipment and security systems has become more sophisticated, and high levels of effectiveness. Moreover, with the rapid advances in technology, particularly IT (Information Technology), then, have designed safety equipment up to date, the use of biometrics technology.
According to research firm International Biometric Group, based in the U.S., it is expected that the proceeds of sale of Biometric products around the world, will increase from U.S. $ 601 million in 2002, to U.S. $ 4.04 thousand million by 2007.
Based on the technology, breakdown-breakdown is:
• Finger Scan - 52%
• Facial Scan - 12.2%
• Hand Scan - 10.0%
• Iris Scan - 7.3%
• Voice Scan - 4.1%
• Signature Scan - 2.4%
• Keystroke Scan - 0.3%
• The use of middleware - 12.2%
It is clear that the widely accepted biometric is the fingerprint application / finger print, the uniqueness in which no two the same in the world.
Therefore, the acceptance of fingerprint-based technologies will biometic dierima easier to control security in the public and the private sector.
Diversification applications will enable customers get a comprehensive package of security, for example, which includes:
• theft control
• restrictions on entry into the spaces / particular premises
• the restrictions for certain substances, such as files, data and information.
What is important is for the processing of packages of interest to certain segments of customers, according to their suitability and their needs based, and which gives the highest confidence in the integrity of the systems used.
According to International Biometric Group is also, by 2007, major markets for biometric applications are:
• the government / public - U.S. $ 1.2 billion
• financial sector - U.S. $ 672 million
• transport and travel (travel) - U.S. $ 556 million
New areas such as health care / health care, also have emerged as a customer for biometric technologies. Further technological advances will be able to expand and diversify the use of biometric applications, and thus increase the level of security in their daily lives.
