Introduction – Status Quo
 Korean Biometrics Market (KBA 2003)
 70% of citizens aware of “what the biometrics are”
 84% are positive to bio-passport
 From fingerprint scan to face, iris, hand vascular
technology
 2002 domestic revenue: 23 Million US$
 Market growth has been always below expectations

Market Requirements
 Accuracy – FAR, FRR
 How accurate the FAR should be? – BA’s report
 0.01% - 0.0001%
 Robustness to forgery
 Prof. Matsumoto’s vulnerability research – artificial fingers and
irises
 Copy from residual features
 Perceptive acceptance
 Convenience and posture – psychological refusal
 Intimidation
 Needs of minimal contact area and natural posture
 Usability
 The percentile of unspecified population who can use a specific
biometric system
 Key to the wide applications for physical access control

Characteristics of Asian Market
 Lack of vertical market
 Vendors rely on their own applications
 Barrier to quick market growth
 Face and Iris technologies in Asia
 Biometrics middleware
 Quick growth expected
 Key to the volume growth of biometrics industry
 Especially for T&A applications, middleware is
very important along with standardization activities
 ISO/IEC JTC1 SC37 Biometrics

Korean Market Trend
 Personalized applications
 Fingerprint technology is eagerly seeking applications in
logical access control, banking, e-commerce (internet user
verification).
 Large scale access control
 Hand vascular pattern system is well accepted by industry due
to its high usability
 IBS, Construction, Factory T&A, Police, Government
 Biometrics middleware
 Quick growth expected
 Key to the volume growth of biometrics industry
 Especially for T&A applications, middleware is very important
along with standardization activities
 ISO/IEC JTC1 SC37 Biometrics
KBA
 Government applications waiting for standards
 Interoperability and BioAPI
