A major problem with biometric authentication is that, when it doesn’t work, there are few good options to proceed with the authentication.

One vendor, Sensory, is making serious headway in figuring out interesting ways to use dual biometrics.

As cities continue to grow smarter, they will also become easier to hack. With millions (if not billions) of dollars going into research for urban domains and the Internet of Things (IoT), there will be more opportunities to utilize technology to define, access and improve smart city services and infrastructure. In these smart cities, information…
