Korean-Developed Biometric Technologies Deemed Global Standards

“ A few biometric authentication technologies developed by South Korean researchers have been approved for use as global standards by the ITU Telecommunication Standard, reports BusinessKorea.”

Two of the technologies are specifically for mobile applications, and were collaboratively developed by Korean researchers, the Korea Internet & facial time attendance and access control Security Agency, and researchers abroad. One of them is a hardware-based biometric authentication token system; the other is a biometric mobile authentication standard outlining 12 models for waterproof outdoor biometric fingerprint reader authentication and basic security considerations, and with particularly strong applications in the area of mobile fingerprint biometric time attendance management system payments, according to the BusinessKorea article.
