Biometric Information Communications Technology (BICT)

Biometric Information Communications Technology (BICT) refers to the systems and tools that securely transmit, store, and manage biometric data—such as fingerprints, facial features, or iris patterns—used for identification or authentication. It combines biometric data with communication technology to enable accurate, fast, and safe verification of individuals in various applications like security access, banking, and border control. BICT ensures that biometric information is shared efficiently and securely between systems while maintaining privacy and data integrity. It plays a crucial role in enhancing security measures through reliable and modern identification methods.
