Blockchain: the Logical Answer to Third Party Managed Biometrics Data Security
Technological sophistication is perhaps is the only deciding factor that steers ample growth opportunities in global physical identity and access management landscape. With biometrics and blockchain technologies becoming mainstream, physical identity and access management system is en route massive adoption.
As biometrics is becoming a ritual in terms of secure access management across enterprises, the threat of biometric data theft is also rising parallelly. Stolen biometric data can never be retrieved or altered and therefore stark security threats may not be ignored. Biometric data information is stored in a centralized system and hence are prone to being hacked. Blockchain technology comes as an easy rescue alternative in this regard as biometric data is most often stored and managed by third party vendors. Blockchain enabled physical identity and access management is steered by self-sovereign identity management that allows users to monitor, control, and manage their respective identities by associating their data with certain special security attributes.
