... these findings have not stopped the adoption of biometric techniques. They have instead fueled demand for “improving” them, further automating and mathematizing the techniques as a more robust and reliable alternative to relying on lab specialists. This has accelerated the digitalization of forensic matching and the growing reliance on “multimodal” biometrics — that is, biometric identification systems that depend on more than one type of identifier (for instance facial recognition and fingerprint) and that can combine physiological and behavioral techniques (for instance, iris recognition and voice recognition). More research has been addressed to “soft” biometrics — ambiguous and not concretely measurable traits, such as one’s gait, voice, or nonconscious bodily movements (called “behavior” in the industry).
