The identity control of e-services and the development of computerization in the public sector

Abstract

A convenient and secure process of identity verification is an important condition for further computerization of public administration and secure realization of e-services. . Methods known and used for years which require material credentials or knowledge of confidential passwords are no longer enough protection as well as they are considered to be burdensome. An advantageous solution may lie in systems based on measurable, unique physical and behavioral characteristics of users. Intensively developed biometric verification techniques are becoming more and more acceptable and are used in more and more new areas. The aim of the paper is to indicate dynamically developed biometric authentication techniques and to present the opinions of Internet users covered by the author’s questionnaire on the implementation and use of new identity verification technologies.
