Last November 11 was China's "Singles Day," the world's largest shopping event, and more than 60 percent of those consumers paid with either a fingerprint or by taking a selfie. Biometrics replace passwords and are more convenient, safer and more secure than other authentication methods. But is it all good news? Biometrics last a lifetime. What if yours is stolen? What if the biometric doesn't work? And what about privacy?

DWT associate Emily Bruemmer moderated this lively conversation with industry experts about:

  • Types of biometrics: advantages, limitations and challenges for each
  • Techniques to foil fraudsters
  • Best practices for employing biometrics in payments
  • The emerging regulatory environment, e.g. "Biometric Information Privacy Act."
