This book undertakes a multifaceted and integrated examination of biometric identification, including the current state of the technology, how it is being used, the key ethical issues, and the implications for law and regulation. The five chapters examine the main forms of contemporary biometrics?fingerprint recognition, facial recognition and DNA identification? as well the integration of biometric data with other forms of personal data, analyses key ethical concepts in play, including privacy, individual autonomy, collective responsibility, and joint ownership rights, and proposes a raft of principles to guide the regulation of biometrics in liberal democracies. Biometric identification technology is developing rapidly and being implemented more widely, along with other forms of information technology. As products, services and communication moves online, digital identity and security is becoming more important. Biometric identification facilitates this transition. Citizens now use biometrics to access a smartphone or obtain a passport; law enforcement agencies use biometrics in association with CCTV to identify a terrorist in a crowd, or identify a suspect via their fingerprints or DNA; and companies use biometrics to identify their customers and employees. In some cases the use of biometrics is governed by law, in others the technology has developed and been implemented so quickly that, perhaps because it has been viewed as a valuable security enhancement, laws regulating its use have often not been updated to reflect new applications. However, the technology associated with biometrics raises significant ethical problems, including in relation to individual privacy, ownership of biometric data, dual use and, more generally, as is illustrated by the increasing use of biometrics in authoritarian states such as China, the potential for unregulated biometrics to undermine fundamental principles of liberal democracy. Resolving these ethical problems is a vital step towards more effective regulation. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Ethics,$x2211-811X 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aCriminology 606 $aBiometric identification 606 $aTechnology$xMoral and ethical aspects 606 $aTechnology$xSociological aspects 606 $aComputers$xLaw and legislation 606 $aInformation technology$xLaw and legislation 606 $aPolitical Science 606 $aCrime Control and Security 606 $aBiometrics 606 $aEthics of Technology 606 $aScience, Technology and Society 606 $aLegal Aspects of Computing 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aCriminology. 615 0$aBiometric identification. 615 0$aTechnology$xMoral and ethical aspects. 615 0$aTechnology$xSociological aspects. 615 0$aComputers$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aInformation technology$xLaw and legislation. 615 14$aPolitical Science. 615 24$aCrime Control and Security. 615 24$aBiometrics. 615 24$aEthics of Technology. 615 24$aScience, Technology and Society. 615 24$aLegal Aspects of Computing. 676 $a345.052 686 $aCOM016000$aLAW099000$aPHI005000$aPOL000000$aSOC004000$aSOC026000$2bisacsh 700 $aSmith$b Marcus$01076247 701 $aMiller$b Seumas$0895216 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910512180903321 996 $aBiometric Identification, Law and Ethics$92586619 997 $aUNINA
