The Business Case for Voice Authentication

Major breakthroughs in the development of voice authentication have taken place in the last decade, and the market potential for this technology is evolving rapidly. Due to the unique characteristics of the human voice, voice authentication is being used to verify the identity of individuals for the purposes of public safety and national security or to ensure the confidentiality of sensitive data or information. At the Canadian border, voice authentication is used to identify and track frequent travelers. The United Kingdom government’s Supervision and Surveillance Program also uses voice authentication to identify and control curfew orders of youth parolees.
