  • Abstract
    This paper discusses the UK governments plans to build a biometric database of the whole population. It outlines the technology behind biometrics, including face recognition, iris prints, and fingerprints. It explains that biometric representations are soon to be a feature of newly issued passports, perhaps driving licences, and that national ID cards are being put forward as a practical proposition.
