The Biometrics Institute has released its State of Biometrics Report 2025, highlighting key trends, challenges, and predictions for the future of biometric technology.
Andrejs Katakins, Biometric Solutions Architect at the X Infotech, explores the most exciting developments from the report and shares its key takeaways.
Each additional biometric element (especially another modality) in a probe record significantly increases the accuracy of the verification/identification result.
A multimodal approach is one of the ways to enhance security because it’s much harder to spoof multiple biometric modalities.
Additional modalities certainly complicate and lengthen the process of collecting biometric information, which can affect user experience in terms of speed and convenience. At the same time, it adds new possibilities; for example, users can have multiple authentication options, which can be more convenient in different scenarios.
