Biometric Web ServicesCombining biometrics and web services to enable multimodal biometric interoperability and enhance mobile identification and remote authentication.

Our computers, cellular phone, set-top boxes (i.e., digital video recorders, cable boxes)—even our alarm clocks—all natively understand these common protocols. By using Web services as a means for interoperability, the capabilities and reach of biometrics is significantly improved. For example, Web services enable
