Summary

This chapter gave an overview of biometric security integration in DIAM systems. It underlined the importance of biometric technology, such as fingerprint recognition, iris identification, and face recognition, in delivering high levels of security and convenience in DIAM systems. It also emphasized the necessity of ethical issues, technical improvements, and the integration of biometrics and blockchain technology to establish a safe, user-centric, and transparent identity verification ecosystem. The chapter also discussed challenges and considerations in biometric security implementation, such as ethical issues, regulatory compliance, and interoperability, with a focus on biometrics and blockchain’s potential to improve privacy, authenticity, and security in distributed IdM systems.

And finally, to every reader who joined me on this trip and added immeasurable value to the experience, I hope you enjoyed reading this book as much as I enjoyed authoring it.
