Leveraging International Cooperation as Biometric Technologies Evolve

Leveraging International Cooperation as Biometric Technologies Evolve

While ground-breaking biometric technologies can help catch criminals and prevent terrorism attacks, biometric solutions still have many unsolved questions. One of which is how international entities plan to collaborate and share the biometric information they collect. For Dr. Brian Plastow (Scottish Biometrics Commissioner) and Tony Eastaugh (Biometrics & Surveillance Camera Commissioner for the UK Home Office), this is a question they are already beginning to address.

In their respective roles both men are constantly communicating and collaborating with other biometrics leaders across the UK. IDGA sat down with the these two to discuss that very topic, as well as:

  • Ethical uses of biometrics
  • The short-term future of biometrics in the UK
  • What Dr. Plastow and Eastaugh hope attendees gain from attending the Biometrics for Government and Law Enforcement Summit
