Biometric technologies: the attitude of the population and overcoming risks

The article is devoted to biometric identification systems. Currently, biometric identification systems are used in various services, replacing systems that use a person's username and password as identifiers. The authors of the work address the social and technological aspects of biometrics in the framework of the article. The article describes the main types of biometric systems using both static and dynamic methods. The authors also identify the main reasons for skepticism on the part of users among the Russian population, which include citizens' distrust of the reliability of storing personal information, which can lead to data leakage. The article discusses the current problems of using biometric identification systems and their solutions.
