International Biometric Group to Host Teleconference on Biometrics and Mass Transit Systems, Thursday, August 11, 2005 at 1 p.m. EDT.
IBG’s teleconference this month will discuss present and future applications for deploying biometrics to enhance security in mass transit systems.
(PRWEB) August 4, 2005 -- International Biometric Group (IBG) extends an
invitation to participate in IBG’s upcoming teleconference on Biometrics and
Mass Transit Systems, which will be held on August 11 at 1 p.m. EDT (10:00 AM
PDT; 1700 Coordinated Universal Time).
In the wake of the recent attacks
in London, there has been renewed interest in the use of biometrics for
providing increased security in mass transit systems. As both policy makers and
citizens agree, deploying high security solutions in the mass transit setting is
essential to protecting citizens, mass transit workers, and critical state-owned
property. While biometric technologies could provide a safe and secure means to
authenticate and survey citizens and mass transit workers, there are many
concerns associated with deploying biometrics. Some of these issues include
privacy, feasibility, cost, and overall throughput with the addition of new
security procedures and technologies.
Maud Meister, a consultant at IBG,
will discuss issues pertaining to biometrics in the mass transit setting. Ms.
Meister will address the following topics:
- How biometric technologies
can address the need for heightened security in mass transit systems.
-
Current and past deployments of biometrics in mass transit systems and lessons
learned from these efforts.
- Deployment concerns in mass transit systems:
privacy, biometric technology usability, cost, and efficiency.
- Potential
future applications of biometrics for mass transit systems
There is no
fee to participate in IBG’s teleconference series. Visit www.biometricgroup.com/webconferences.html to log in and for
