Before moving on, let\u2019s clarify some terms: <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>Identification<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is the process of recognizing an individual among a group. This is done by comparing the data of the person to be identified with the aspects of each individual in the group. Your fingerprint or a picture of you identifies you in relation to the rest of the people.  <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>Authentication<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is the set of phases to prove that the  <strong>identity claimed by a subject is true<\/strong>. Este proceso compara los datos del individuo \u00fanicamente con la informaci\u00f3n asociada a la identidad solicitada. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>Biometric data<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is the data that makes it possible to identify an individual and can be physiological, physical or behavioral. <strong>Biometric data<\/strong> makes you a unique person and reveals more <strong>personal information<\/strong> than a password, for example. These include the face, the iris of the eye, the voice or the fingerprint.  <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/bizum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Imagen-2S-1.jpg\" alt=\"Biometric data provide personal information and are used to identify you.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12602 size-full\"><\/p>\n\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        \r\n                    <\/div>\r\n\r\n                <\/div>\r\n\r\n                \r\n                \r\n                \r\n                \r\n                \r\n                \r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\n<section\r\n    class=\"m22-content-simple m22-content-simple--border-straight\"\r\n    id=\"m22-section-1\"\r\n    aria-label=\"Contenido simple\"\r\n>\r\n    <div class=\"container\">\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"m22-content-simple__card\">\r\n\r\n            \r\n            \r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"m22-content-simple__content\">\r\n\r\n                \r\n                <div class=\"m22-content-simple__body\">\r\n\r\n                    \r\n                    <div class=\"m22-content-simple__sidebar\">\r\n\r\n                        \r\n                                                    <div class=\"m22-content-simple__title-block\">\r\n                                <div class=\"m22-content-simple__title-row\">\r\n\r\n                                    \r\n                                                                            <div class=\"m22-content-simple__title\">\r\n                                            <p>Encrypted biometric data<\/p>\n\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                    \r\n                                <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        \r\n                        \r\n                        \r\n                        \r\n                        \r\n                    <\/div>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n                    <div class=\"m22-content-simple__main\">\r\n\r\n                        \r\n                                                    <div class=\"m22-content-simple__text\">\r\n                                <p>It is already clear to us that <strong>biometric data<\/strong> identifies us and differentiates us from others.

The first thing you should know is that <strong>technology companies<\/strong> can neither use it nor share it.  <\/p>\n<p><span> <\/span><span>The storage of this information is local and is not uploaded to the cloud. Most commonly, it is stored in a different memory than the main memory of the device. This security box ensures that these biometric data are kept safe. For this reason, after switching the cell phone off and on, it is necessary to enter the password, before anything else. The chip where the data is stored is accessed first.

By definition, a <strong>strong authentication system<\/strong> is one that requires you to provide at least two of the following: <strong>-Something<\/strong>you know -Something you have -Something you are Biometrics would fall under the \u201csomething you are\u201d heading. So, although it is a good method, it is not enough. If only biometrics are used, we are dealing with a weak authentication process, whereas using an access card and password is strong. To complete this <strong>strength in the authentication of users<\/strong> in banking applications, it is recommended to <strong>add to the biometric information<\/strong>, user data and password as something you know, or the digital certificate as something you have. Another option is the <strong>OTP <\/strong>or One Time Password ( <strong>OTP <\/strong>). It is common that this is sent via SMS. But to <a href=\"https:\/\/bizum.com\/blog\/pautas-evitar-estafas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">avoid scams<\/a>, frauds and security breaches, the trend is to send this <strong>code or second authentication factor<\/strong> through a <strong>notification in the App installed<\/strong> in the verified device. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/bizum.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Imagen-5S.jpg\" alt=\"Biometrics is concerned with collecting data to identify a person.\" width=\"999\" height=\"654\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-12617 size-full\"><\/p>\n\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        \r\n                    <\/div>\r\n\r\n                <\/div>\r\n\r\n                \r\n                \r\n                \r\n                \r\n                \r\n                \r\n            <\/div>\r\n\r\n        <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/section>\r\n\n<section\r\n    class=\"m22-content-simple m22-content-simple--border-straight\"\r\n    id=\"m22-section-5\"\r\n    aria-label=\"Contenido simple\"\r\n>\r\n    <div class=\"container\">\r\n\r\n        <div class=\"m22-content-simple__card\">\r\n\r\n            \r\n            \r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"m22-content-simple__content\">\r\n\r\n                \r\n                <div class=\"m22-content-simple__body\">\r\n\r\n                    \r\n                    <div class=\"m22-content-simple__sidebar\">\r\n\r\n                        \r\n                                                    <div class=\"m22-content-simple__title-block\">\r\n                                <div class=\"m22-content-simple__title-row\">\r\n\r\n                                    \r\n                                                                            <div class=\"m22-content-simple__title\">\r\n                                            <p>What is the FIDO authentication system?<\/p>\n\r\n                                        <\/div>\r\n                                    \r\n                                <\/div>\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        \r\n                        \r\n                        \r\n                        \r\n                        \r\n                    <\/div>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n                    <div class=\"m22-content-simple__main\">\r\n\r\n                        \r\n                                                    <div class=\"m22-content-simple__text\">\r\n                                <p>However, technological progress in security is so fast that there is already a new standard, called FIDO (Fast Identity Online). This is an online authentication technique that reinforces security on mobile devices and web applications. It aims to replace the exclusive use of passwords with more secure biometric authentication mechanisms protected by encryption systems. Some Spanish banking apps already use it. In this way, online trust is reinforced and access to the app is speeded up without having to include digits or characters. Some banks already use <strong>biometric parameters<\/strong>, not only to facilitate<strong> access to mobile banking<\/strong>, but also to <strong>sign transactions<\/strong> without the need for the SMS one-time password.
