If people cannot identity themselves digitally then the digital society does not work.

How do biometrics help reduce crime and is it possible to have a biometric system yet not broadcast even more personal information than we do now? There are hosts of biometric systems but which ones work and which are little more than guessing?

A lecture by Richard Harvey, IT Livery Company Professor of IT 22 October
