IDEMIA, the world leader in biometrics and augmented identity carried out an independent survey in 11 countries. This survey reached out 2,800 respondents who talked about their perception of biometrics.Here are the some facts collected:
- GOOD REPUTATION FOR BIOMETRIC TECHNOLOGY
Biometric authentication is seen as a useful technology, reducing numbers of passwords, avoiding fraud and after all it’s easy to use, since you just need to punch in your biometric data. These were the answers of 74% of respondents who had a positive approach to the technology.
- THE WORLD IS READY
90% of people surveyed said they are ready to use biometric identification and that the world is ready for this type of processes. 61% would use biometrics to unlock their phones and others saying that they would pay online and in store with their biometrics.
- NON-HUMAN SIDE OF BIOMETRICS IS NOT A TURN OFF
The lack of human touch and the technical side of biometrics itself were well accepted, meanwhile, the idea of identity theft, fraud and privacy concerns raised some concerns to the people surveyed.
- BIOMETRIC TECHNOLOGY IS ALREADY MAINSTREAM
Only 22% of respondents have never tried biometric authentication before. In contrast 78% had already use biometrics and 63% used fingerprint verification.
- FINGERPRINT VERIFICATION WINS POPULARITY CONTEST
The most accurate and convenient form of biometric is by far the fingerprint. Second place for security and accuracy is iris recognition and facial recognition wins beside fingerprint the title of convenience.
- BRAZIL AND U.A.E. ARE THE MOST ENTHUSIASTIC COUNTRIES
89% of Brazilians interviewed had used biometric technology, in first place because it’s required to vote in the national election. The U.A.E also have an excellent perception of biometrics, 81% appreciate the innovation and the fun aspect. They are the less fearful of fraud or data or identity theft.
- IN FRANCE, BIOMETRICS ARE STILL SENSITIVE
In general, French people participating in the survey had a favorable approach towards biometrics, 61%, a low numbers if we compare to the global average of 74%. The fewest numbers of adherents of the mobile wallet are in France.

IDEMIA reveals the know-how behind the rise of multi-modal biometrics
BiometricsAs biometrics turn to be the imperative feature in airports all over the world, a question surrounding the move from authentication to identification is asked quite often. Should airports move from 1:1 to 1:N? Passengers ask for a seamless travelling experience and on the other hand airports like it.
How has the airport experience changed with the advent of biometric technologies?
Everyone who has travelled in airport knows that each company and airport has its own way to serve the customer, varying enormously from how they verify identity, information and how they follow procedures. This is a point-by-point approach, which is the norm nowadays, the idea with biometrics technology is to simplify this approach to a connected approach, seamless and shared: A common biometric database allowing an interexchange of identities’ information and verified travels between airlines and airports is a key point for a maximum of effiency, fast and soft experience to travelers, airports and border control.
IDEMIA as the world leader of augmented identity knows how to make this swift for airports and airlines to improve operational workflow and operability .
What is authentication and identification in biometrics?
Biometric authentication, as the name says, authenticates your biometric template (store datapoint of your face, fingerprint, vein…) against one that is supposed to be yours: it’s a one-to-one match or 1:1 (e.g. the biometric stored in a travel document or in a database). On the other hand: biometric identification, is when your biometric template is searched in a database containing stored biometric templates– This is the ‘one-to-many’ match or 1:N.
IDEMIA has both solutions to handle customer’s needs.
Thinking of three key points, IDEMIA offers its biometric solutions for:
Are there privacy issues that must be overcome if airports have to continue to embrace this idea of seamless flow?
A strong data privacy is demanded while handling citizens’ data, the travel industry will have to adapt to the evolving regulation.
With long experience on biometric field, IDEMIA provides support in order to facilitate the understanding and clarify the questions of a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) needed by GDPR.

MorphoWave Tower by IDEMIA | Product Change Notification
BiometricsDear Partners and Customers,
Since the launch of MorphoWave Tower by IDEMIA in 2015, the technology has achieved multiple industry leading awards, and has become the benchmark in high assurance frictionless access control.
The popularity and success of the technology was further reinforced by the introduction of MorphoWave Compact in 2018, which immediately received multiple industry awards, and achieved rapid adoption globally.
Over the past 4 years we have worked closely with the world’s leading turnstile manufacturers to ensure that MorphoWave technology is also available in 2 additional key formats:
1. In tower/pedestal formats that are designed to esthetically blend with and complement existing turnstiles,
2. Embedded directly into the turnstile structure to achieve a uni-body design.
The above formats are available with both the original MorphoWave (OEM Kit) and the new MorphoWave Compact.
There is a style of MorphoWave to suit almost every design or aesthetic objective.
For customers requiring a tower/pedestal design which is independent, and not necessarily linked to, or used with turnstiles, IDEMIA will soon be releasing an updated version of the original MorphoWave Tower. The new MorphoWave Tower will leverage the Compact reader technology, which brings additional benefits such as embedded multi card technology, a more engaging capacitive touchscreen and significantly easier installation and support, along with many more benefits.
The original MorphoWave Tower form factor will be maintained to support existing customers, and will then gradually transition to a “build to order” status.
Thank you for your interest and support in making MorphoWave technology the great success it is, and please feel free to contact your local representative for more details.
Yours sincerely,
