What is facial biometrics?

Each person has a combination of physical characteristics that makes them unique in the world.

Facial biometrics uses technology to identify, map and translate these characteristics into numerical data.

For anyone who uses a facial recognition tool, the process is very simple: just take a selfie and that's it, the biometric data is collected and recognized – or not, if it is an identity fraud attempt.

But for this to happen, biometric engines make hundreds of thousands of combinations per second to be able to recognize your identity.
