| 1. About Voice Biometrics
|
Voice verification is conceptually similar to fingerprinting. It is common knowledge that each person's
fingerprints have unique characteristics that can be used to distinguish one person from another. It
has also been proven that each person can be identified by the unique features of his or her vocal
characteristics and speaking patterns, i.e. no two voices are exactly the same, and your voice is
something that is unqiue to you.
In the past, voice biometrics took a back seat to other physical biometric methods of identification and verification,
such as fingerprints, facial recognition and iris scans, but new algorithms and more robust computer processing power
have increased accuracy rates exponentially, making voice biometrics a competitive threat to the more invasive,
traditional methods of identification and verification.
Since speaking is natural and effortless, and voice signal is perfectly right for real-time recording
and transmission over the telecom and Internet networks, voice biometric technology is especially good
at remote identity security for phone and web applications.
In addition, new legislation for higher levels of security in commerce make voice biometrics an attractive low-cost
option for enterprises now required to ask for three levels of ID to prevent identity theft and fraud in commerce
and homeland security.
