How to Make Biometric Data Useful – and Useless – with FaceTec's Jay Meier

On this week's ID Talk podcast, Jay Meier returns to expand on his ideas in a recent discussion about biometric binding—that is, linking a person's biometric data directly to their biographic information for the purpose of identity verification. Having previously laid out the foundations of the concept, Jay now answers a number of follow-up questions from ID Talk hosts Tony Bitzionis and Alex Perala in a conversation that touches on topics including the weakness of many device-native biometric systems, how biometric binding actually works in practice, and how FaceTec's technology is designed to render a biometric template totally useless to hackers. A bona fide expert, Jay has thought carefully about the conceptual underpinnings of biometric identity, and delivers a fascinating discussion, as always.
