A host of problems is keeping biometric security from becoming a mainstream application, a panel of experts at this year’s RSA Conference concluded. “The largest complaint at biometrics conferences is that every year people say that: ‘This is the year of biometrics.’ And then they come back the next year and say: ‘Maybe this is the year of biometrics,'” said Richard Lazarick, chief technologist at CSC Global Security Solutions. One of the major problems, Lazarick argued, that prevents biometrics from becoming mainstream is lack of agreed standards.
