Is lip-reading the secret to security?

Publication date: June 2019Source: Biometric Technology Today, Volume 2019, Issue 6Author(s): Liam McQuillanToday's best user authentication systems are multi-factor: people are verified via something they know (a pin or password), something they have (like a key fob), and something they are (biometric authentication). The ‘something they are’ factor provides very reliable user authentication by identifying the individual from a unique physiological or behavioural characteristic, like their fingerprint, voice, face, lip movement or keystroke analysis. These biometric modalities are accurate, easy-to-use and should be difficult to compromise – but experience has shown that biometrics are susceptible in varying degrees to ‘spoofing’.
