Canadians have been unlocking iPhones with their fingerprint since 2013 and are sometimes exposed to facial recognition software before boarding planes. But when it comes to biometric technology, two Canadian experts are researching what could be the future of biometric security: footsteps.
University of New Brunswick professor Erik Scheme, second from right, is shown in his lab at UNB where they use pressure-sensitive floor tiles to analyze people's gait in Fredericton, New Brunswick on Aug. 4, 2023. Here Scheme and Mayssa Rekik, Mitacs Globalink Intern from Tunisia, right, analyze the footsteps of Arijit Samal, Mitacs Globalink Intern from India, left, and Ala Salehi, graduate student.
"Whether that's different footwear or carrying different objects or walking in a distracted way, we're trying to build the world's largest data set to make publicly available to the research community, so that we can move this discipline forward," Scheme said. Lighting conditions, masks and other accessories can challenge facial scanners, while glove wearers and people wanting to avoid touching additional surfaces in a COVID-19 conscious world pose difficulties for fingerprint-based systems.
The head of technology at law firm Norton Rose Fulbright attributed the pullback to a wave of U.S. litigation and controversies around the use of biometrics.
