The fingerprint recognition technology is expected to deploy in strength this year on the iPhone as in a number of competing smartphones. This prediction comes from Michael Barrett, director of security at PayPal and is also president of Fast Alliance Identity Online (FIDO), a body of research on alternatives to the traditional identification, such as passwords. The idea here is to combine the software, hardware and Internet services to minimize the risk of fraud - and biometric sensors are one of the solutions that can be used to ensure maximum security.
The first handsets shipping system developed by FIDO will appear in 2013. As to whether Apple will integrate it into the iPhone 5S witch is a difficult step for this time, but Barrett was convinced that "a large technology provider in Cupertino, Calif., will come out with a phone later this year that has a fingerprint reader on it.
