Abstract

Accurate identification of individuals is a cornerstone of any modern society. Without identification, we cannot recognize the parties of different transactions and bind individuals to their rights and liabilities. Without identification, the transactions, rights, and liabilities become useless, and society can no longer work. Biometrical identification offers a technologically effective solution to the identification problems. These technologies are spreading fast in the whole information and communication technology field and pervading into many aspects of using computers and similar devices. Just like any other technology, biometric identification cannot develop without a sufficient regulative environment. This chapter provides an overview of the challenges and approaches, in addition to introducing biometric technologies. Finland has had connection with biometric identification and this chapter covers some aspects of the same.
