Universal access through biometrics in mobile scenarios

Abstract

The main aim of this paper is the development of a new technology for biometric recognition that allows safe and secure access to universal services such as credit card payment, ATMs, access control, border control, etc. The technology being developed is very generic and easily adaptable to the specific particularities of disabled people; a collective that represents an important proportion of current population (e.g. about the 9% of the total Spanish population).
