Abstract

This chapter discusses the principles that underlie biometric systems, summarizes the usual strategies employed in digital identity frauds, such as deepfakes, spoofing and creating synthetic identity and reviews the strengths and weaknesses associated with the use of biometric in cyber investigation. Case studies in the real world depict the application ofbiometrics in criminal justice, border control as well as verification on mobile identity. Meanwhile the chapter discusses ethical, legal and privacy concerns of biometric data capture and application with examples of international laws like GDPR and HIPAA. Last, it discusses emerging trends such as AI-based biometric security, decentralized digital identity and privacy-respecting biometric protocols, and provides an in-depth perspective on the future of the cross-section of biometrics, cybersecurity, and biometric-based identity protection.
