The Human Biometrics Project

The Human Biometrics Project is an initiative that develops and promotes global standards for collecting and sharing biometric data—like fingerprints, facial features, and iris patterns—used for identification and security. It aims to ensure that biometric information is accurate, consistent, and easily exchangeable across different systems and countries. This helps improve security, streamline verification processes, and support applications such as border control, law enforcement, and identity management, while emphasizing privacy protection and interoperability in a rapidly connected world.
