Steak ‘n Shake, a popular casual dining chain, is deploying pay-by-face technology in select restaurants. The plan is to extend this tool to 300 establishments globally, showcasing the versatility of biometrics in diverse business environments.
Understanding Biometric Identification
Biometric identification involves comparing an individual’s characteristics to a stored biometric template to establish a resemblance. This method allows for the unique and specific identification of individuals based on recognizable and verifiable data. The reference model, comprising biometric data, is stored and subsequently compared to the individual’s biometric data for authentication.
The primary goal of biometric authentication is to capture a person’s biometric data, which can include facial images, voice records, or fingerprint scans.
In response to challenges such as document fraud, identity theft, terrorism, and cybercrime, biometric security solutions are continually evolving and being implemented globally.
