Commenting on the report, an analyst said: “With increased adoption of mobile devices in various sectors in the US such as healthcare, government, education, enterprises, BFSI, and transportation, the integration of biometrics in mobile devices has increased. In the education sector, it is being increasingly used to enable secure access to online examinations, libraries, and applications.”

According to the report, apart from fingerprint, facial, and iris biometric technologies, a number of other emerging biometric technologies, involving voice, palm, and veins of individuals, are also implemented for identification and verification purposes in the educational sector. The US government has implemented multimodal biometric systems in this sector because of violent activities in the past.
