Telebiometrics is a historic effort to biometrically identify, authenticate and securely encrypt user's identity over an open network. This global security effort initiated by the United Nations, via the ITU-T, standards body spans across borders, technical platforms, and market implementations.

Telebiometrics gained importance over the past decade, when identification and authentication was made a central issue in anti-terrorism system requirements. As each person contains unique biological features and habits, information obtained from the body is difficult to steal or replicate. Telebiometrics enables a reliable from of identification and can provide a more robust fraud and identity theft protection than other methods.

WORLD WIDE STANDARDS

Telebiometric Standards are currently being defined by the ITU-T Study Group 17. Regularly visit our site for news and information, and become apart of the fastest growing security standards in the world. Telebiometrics was initially conceived as the application of biometrics for telecommunication and of telecommunications to remote biometric sensing. It was initially standardized in 2004 by ITU in ITU-T/Recommendation X.1081: The Telebiometric Multimodal Model. This was followed by IEC 80000-14, Telebiometrics related to physiology, published in 2007 as a part of the ISO and IEC 80000 harmonized series and ITU-T Recommendation X.1082.
