International Biometrics + Identity Association (IBIA)

The International Biometrics & Identity Association (IBIA) is a global organization that promotes the responsible use of biometric technologies—such as fingerprinting, facial recognition, and iris scanning—to enhance security, streamline identity verification, and improve societal safety. It collaborates with government agencies, industry leaders, and privacy advocates to set standards, share research, and advocate for policies that balance security benefits with privacy concerns. IBIA aims to ensure biometric solutions are implemented ethically and effectively, supporting applications like border control, law enforcement, and personal access, while respecting individuals' rights.
