The Rise of Biometric Technology: Border Security Perspectives from US DHS, UK, Australia and EU
London, United Kingdom, November 24, 2017 --(PR.com)-- With a recent surge of nations utilising biometric technologies to achieve "seamless and autonomous" border controls, SMi Group's Border Security 2018 Conference will provide presentations on this essential and timely topic.

Updates and progress made for EU PROTECT including legal, social and ethical analysis of the PROTECT contactless biometric ID system, challenges facing the project and future timeframes.
