Biometric Use Cases: Choosing the Right Biometric for the Job
November 12th, 2005 | Avery Glasser
Speaker verification has received short shrift from security mavens, largely because it has been ill-positioned by the speech processing community and has been subject to misplaced concern over its relative "strength" compared with more expensive, hardware-intensive alternatives. In this report, Opus Research assesses the comparative strengths and weaknesses of four major biometrics: facial, fingerprint, iris and voice. Also presented are appropriate use cases for each biometric technique, including a case study of a working governmental Speaker verification system.
Fundamentals of Speaker Verification and Biometric-Based Authentication
August 15th, 2005 | Avery Glasser
Classifying speech recognition and Speaker Verification as technical cousins has done nothing to further the market development for either technology. Speaker Verification is more than an enhancement to 'Voice Self-Service' applications - it's an extension of an organization's security policies. While speech recognition limits itself as 'live agent' replacement, Speaker Verification becomes the necessary authentication process to front every security-conscious conversation.
