- Abstract
- This research paper looks at the social implications of biometrics pertaining to the ethics of privacy and the ownership of individual biometric data, including how these issues can be resolved through the establishment of a Biometric Commission by introducing global standardised biometric uniformity and the guidelines that will ensure their technological foundations. Much of the distrust that engulfs society is due to the past performances and policy implementations that governments have initiated surrounding biometric technology and its miss use beyond the realms of individual identification for security purposes. There needs to be total transparency from governments and organisations that use biometric technology for security identification in how every individuals biometric data will be used, stored and the ethical standards provided in eliminating many of the implications that every society has towards on how their biometric data will be used.
